      Senior Unix Engineer Interview

      26 Feb 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Ashburn, VA
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Ashburn, VA) in May 2013

      Interview

      I was referred to Visa by a staffing agency who accurately matched my skills with the position. I was given an initial screening interview by phone conducted by a member of HR and the technical manager for whom I'd be working for. The HR person was decidedly non-technical and worked from a script of generic technical sounding questions (e.g. "What is TCP/IP used for?"). The technical manager was busy with other work and chose not to participate in the actual interview - he put us on mute and was not heard from until the end of the call when he announced he had no questions to ask. I never had an on-site interview. I never talked to anyone I'd be working with. I was never told what office I'd be working in. I was never told what I'd be doing on a daily basis. A week later I was contacted by the staffing agency to let me know Visa was offering me the position.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The most unexpected part of the interview was the fact that I was never actually interviewed by anyone connected to my position nor anyone I would be working for or with. I was hired literally sight unseen.
