Round 1: Telephonic - 30 minutes The director is late by 10 minutes, Learning that I have no Java work experience he puts me hold for 10 minutes to kill time and in the last 10 minutes he asks me some questions. At visa people are not interested if you have not work experience in Java. Even if you have worked on any other object oriented programming language people consider you are not fit to join Visa. Damn it I don't understand why did you even short list my profile when its clear from my resume I have no experience with J2EE in specific. This is the second similar experience with Visa I had this experience. I interviewed with them for Internship as well. Questions: What is OOP? What is Polymorphism What is inheritance What is a table, view, materialized view Difference between truncate and delete, table and view
