Global Payments Inc. (parent of TSYS after the 2019 merger) runs different loops for its two dominant hiring populations: an India-based engineering track feeding TSYS/Global Payments-India in Noida, and a large Philippines BPO/shared-services operation in Vertis North, Quezon City that hires customer service, technical support, risk, back-office and team-lead roles. The India engineering loop we could verify is four rounds: a coding screen, a face-to-face technical or system/OS deep-dive, a second technical (harder DSA or manager round with resume/project focus), then a light HR closer. The PH BPO track advertises a one-day, two-interview process (initial plus final) for CSR and TSR roles.
These 2 writeups cover software engineering, site reliability engineering, customer service and other roles, India engineering + PH BPO. 1 of them was posted under a pseudonym (Reddit, GeeksforGeeks or forum handles), so we could not verify the authors’ identities.

Site Reliability Engineer (experienced hire, TSYS / Global Payments, Noida)
Experienced
Received an offer4 rounds
1
Online proctored coding + OS screenOnline assessment
About an hour, camera-on and proctored. Mixed operating-systems and troubleshooting questions (deadlock detection, how to debug a memory issue) alongside coding fundamentals. The author's tip was to walk through logs and troubleshoot step by step out loud rather than jumping to an answer.
Covered · Operating systems, Debugging, Data structures & algorithms
2
Face-to-face technical / infra designSystem design
One hour, medium difficulty, focused on designing infrastructure on Kubernetes. Expect to whiteboard a deployment topology and defend choices; author advised grounding answers in the official Kubernetes docs and reference patterns.
Covered · System design, Kubernetes, Infrastructure
3
Second technical, harder DSATechnical
Another hour, hard difficulty. Live coding on a 2D matrix problem (spiral traversal of an N x M matrix) with the interviewer asking the candidate to reason about boundaries and index management.
Standard, easy HR round: self-introduction, strengths, five-year plan, and a walkthrough of a resume project. Used mainly to confirm fit and expectations.
Covered · Behavioral, Past projects, Resume deep-dive

1
Technical 1 (DSA)Technical
30-minute face-to-face technical round. Classic DSA on arrays: find the duplicate in an array of size N containing values 1..N-1 with O(N) time and O(1) extra space. Candidate was expected to reason about the constant-space trick, not just brute force it.
Covered · Arrays & strings, Data structures & algorithms
2
Technical 2 + project discussionTechnical
Another 30-minute technical. One warm-up algorithm question (two-sum style pair-sum on a sorted array) followed by resume and project questions.
Covered · Arrays & strings, Past projects, Resume deep-dive
3
Managerial / project deep-diveHiring manager
Manager-led project discussion built entirely around the candidate's declared stack (Flutter and mobile app development in this case). Depth on framework choices, app architecture and specific implementation decisions.
Covered · Past projects, Resume deep-dive, Domain knowledge
4
HRBehavioral
Short HR wrap: tell-me-about-yourself, strengths and weaknesses, a difficult-situation story, motivation for the role, and a brief salary conversation.
Covered · Behavioral, STAR stories, Conflict handling
