I applied online. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Foster City, CA) in May 2017
Interview
Recruiter contacted me for a phone screen, and later with the manager of the team I will be working with at this role. I was finally offered an onsite opportunity to go into their HQ. The schedule was sent to me with a confirmed time and date. I was going to fly in from another city which they specifically told me that they are unable to compensate my travel expense.
So i booked the ticket once I got the confirmation from Visa. A day prior to my onsite interview, the recruiter called me 7am in the morning, told me that the interview has got cancelled because the manager of the team is leaving and they are putting on hold this position. I thought it was a dream cause it was such early in the morning and it didn't sound real at all. The recruiter emailed me that they are still unable to provide compensation on my plane tickets that I already booked. I'm not gonna lie, but I feel fooled.

Question 1
Please respond here with a quick summary of your work history to share with my manager.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (London, England) in Jun 2024
Interview
One interview with team lead and a director. Fairly standard contractor interview for a role requiring niche systems experience,
Teams call with one of the interviewers on cam, one not (not very professional!)
Phone interview with the hiring manager. Interviewer clearly did not read my resume and had completely different expectations from what I had described for my experience. I'm not sure if he even skimmed or glanced at my interview as he did not seem to know my name.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2023
Interview
Started with a simple phone interview. Next stage was developing a card strategy and presenting it to two employees that would ask questions. Presentation involved outside research, potential mockups, and recommendations.
