Visa Software Engineer interview: short Java and algorithms round

My Visa interview lasted about 30 minutes and moved quickly. I began with a coding question and had around five minutes to produce a solution. That was followed by a logical puzzle.

The interviewer then tested object-oriented programming and Java fundamentals, including implementing inheritance. The last part was a binary-search problem: I started with a brute-force approach, explained how I would optimize it, and compared the time complexity as I went.

The round felt focused on coding, core Java, and clear algorithmic reasoning in a short window rather than large system design.
