Visa Inc. reviews

Except for the reasons listed in the "Pros" section, I wouldn't advise working at Visa. As mentioned above, my sense is that there used to be some effort placed on managing a reasonably effective corporate culture, with prudent risk taking, which, in all fairness, is difficult to do when you have more than twice the market share of your next closest competitor (there is something to be said for prudently maintaining one's market dominance). That said, everyone in Silicon Valley that knows anything about the payments space, knows that PayPal shouldn't even exist . . . I'll let you think about that for a second.

Recently, with recent management changes (CEO and virtually all direct reports and virtually the entire 2nd layer) has resulted in less of a technology-focused culture. Nearly all senior managers are from JP Morgan or Mckinsey and as a result, the management focus has shifted from serving customers, employees and innovating in the marketplace to a culture of pinching pennies and cutting costs (at the expense of customers and employees). While the company is still financially strong, this short-sightedness will hurt the company in the long term. The entire management team is now comprised of leaders with less than a year of experience, and frankly, they do not understand the products and business culture of the company. It is sad to see, but I will not be surprised if Visa goes through some tough times in the near future. HR is a disaster- There has been nothing but poorly executed and botched benefit, payroll, and HRIS changes.
