I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Foster City, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
First round: technical phone interview with software engineer
Second round: code assessment online (4 multiple choice, 2 programming questions)
Third round: onsite interview with three rounds, half technical half behavioral
The most technical was the phone interview, the least was the onsite. Asked basic data structure/algorithm questions, some thread/IPC questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write an algorithm to print out all of the possible solutions for a^3 + b^3 = c^3 + d^3
I only took the OA definitely failed. One was similar to 3sum, another was a stack question and the last one was DP / Greedy.
I haven’t studied much leetcode so it was difficult for me to do these problems
First, a recruiter screen phone call. Then, a technical interview asking LeetCode-style questions is usually just easy/medium difficulty. Finally, two rounds in one day, one behavioral and one "non-coding" technical, but expect to write code.

Question 1
What's the difference between a process and a thread?
Pre-screen on hackerrank. a little challenging in my opinion especially with the time constraint. make sure to grind leetcode heavy especially easy and medium and that you're able to easily finish it.
