I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc.
Interview
I applied and then about two weeks later got a call from a recruiter. We had a good initial call, then I didn't hear anything for another couple of weeks. A different recruiting coordinator emailed me to set up an in-person interview, then didn't respond after that. Then, a new recruiting coordinator set up a phone interview with the hiring manager and an in-person interview with the team.
My call with the hiring manager was ok, but she was abrupt and uninformed as to what was going on in the process. She said "Well, if you are selected to move forward with a team interview, we'll go from there." I then told her I had one scheduled for the next day (she worked in a different office) and she was surprised to hear it. When I asked about salary, she said I should have discussed that with the recruiter. I told her he told me to talk to her about it and she replied "Well, you should have had that discussion before this and he could give you a better idea of what the salary is."
The next day, I had an interview on site with the team (the manager was not there or on the call) and it went well. They were very welcoming, albeit a bit disengaged (some of them.)
Three weeks went by and I hadn't heard anything, so I reached out to my original recruiter. He said they were still working through the candidates but that they should know in a couple of weeks. That was six weeks ago. I still haven't heard anything from Visa, or even gotten a formal rejection from the system.
If you decided to go with another candidate, I get it. But at least communicate with people. The whole experience was negative for me.

Question 1
Do you think you can adjust to working in the payment industry?
I applied online. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Manila, Manila) in Nov 2025
Interview
Interview process: HR - Hiring Manager - Stakeholders - Site Lead and HR Head.
Company is very unprofessional. Does not update applicant on status of application. Ghosts the applicant.
PH Office is not attractive. Does not look like modern technology companies.
I am still waiting for the feedback survey so that I can give their Recruitment team a failing mark. Visa HQ should be made aware how incompetent Visa PH is. It's not really because I didn't get an offer, but its them ghosting applicants.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Foster City, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
Behavioral style with manager, future peer, and key stakeholder. It was conversational mostly, and nothing too unexpected. The gap between rounds was quite long. End to end, it was likley somewhere around 4 months.
The process was fine, involving only a few interviews, but the responsibilities don't align with expectations. This highlights a company trying to merge two roles into one to cut costs. I can only imagine the stress the team experiences under a somewhat rude manager who interrupts during questions. Guiding the interview is essential, but there's a more effective way to approach this—perhaps by incorporating a little kindness or saying, "sorry to interrupt..." The manager appeared rushed and lacked warmth, taking themselves too seriously and displaying low emotional intelligence. Senior leaders should know better. The job description was inadequately communicated, and repeated questions about a preferred qualification that they knew I didn't possess from the very beginning indicated that the interviewers hadn't reviewed my resume, nor do they seem reasonable at discerning the differences between differing levels of responsibility. I expected better consistency and understanding in job descriptions as a basic expectation. I was genuinely interested in working at Visa, and, to be honest, I would likely consider another role there with a different team. I spent a significant amount of time learning about Visa and this role, only to feel disrespected in the end. There's a clear breakdown here.
