/ 100
Visa has a broad and repeatable early-career funnel, including a global internship program and multiple structured rotational programs with clear eligibility windows. The strongest evidence sits in learning support and early-career program design, while the weaker area is end-to-end hiring transparency because public details on interview stages and feedback norms are limited.
