Pros
Well-known brand, good salary in California
Cons
I could go on forever if I could, especially regarding the Technology organization. Middle and upper management are awful. They only care about themselves/their professional agenda and have no clue how to manage downwards. Some managers should not even be allowed to have direct reports considering how awful they treat their staff. There is no such thing as work/life balance and employees only show up for a paycheck. People look miserable everywhere and are afraid they will get laid off at a moment's notice. The last couple months, Visa laid off 800+ people and there was no sympathy from the managers and VPs. HR is also the absolute worst. When I was interviewing and in the hiring process, they lost all of my information, emailed me with the wrong name, and I had to reach out to them before they reached out to me. The compensation/promotion process is also done very poorly. You cannot get promoted unless all of the upper management in your group knows your name and you have an "in." Also, in this last Annual Employee Survey, the statistics for "would you recommend a friend or family member to work at Visa" and "are you currently looking for another job" were astounding. Visa should be ashamed of those numbers and realize that employees are so unhappy. Before you are blinded by the high salary and popular brand, take a look at the Glassdoor reviews on, the majority of which are negative but completely accurate.
