Good company to work for, salary and benefits are a plus and overall company culture is positive.

When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to Visa?
Give the coding challenge a go - you don't need a perfect solution to all of the questions, but you will need to explain your thought process and time management etc in the interview.
