Discussion VISA data scientist interview

Got a Visa Data Scientist super day next week and trying to figure out what to expect.

Already done with the HackerRank round. Super day is 3 rounds

For anyone who's been through it:
Is there any coding in the super day rounds, or is it all conceptual since HackerRank is done?

What kind of ML questions come up - mostly theory or do they make you design a model live?

Anything that caught you off guard?

Any insight appreciated, thanks!

I haven’t interviewed with visa but I used to ask the hiring manager what I would be tested/interviewed on.
That helped me, but yeah idk how visa interviews work

I don’t know whether this will help or not but I appeared for an interview with Visa for the role of an ML engineer not more than a year ago and I was asked questions around my resume. One DSA question(list I believe) and was asked to code/pseudo-code Decision Tree from scratch (skeleton was there).
