Pros

Still lots of smart, dedicated people, but the numbers are dwindling by the day.

Cons

Arrogant, entitled executive management. Some laughable exec hiring by CEO. Comp that is well below market. Apparently benchmarked to retail banking, not true tech companies. Extreme cut-backs in benefits. Paranoia that permeates at all levels. It's a culture of fear that just makes everyone silent and tired.

Pros

Great company, excellent outlook, very strong business model.

Cons

Don't know where to start, everything about the technology org is wrong right from EVP of technology who believes only one race of leaders can become SVPs. Every SVP who is so called "TLT" is new and they bring their own people from companies like Microsoft, Yahoo, B&NY melon. These companies by themselves have never fared well in the recent times so don't really know what value these guys will add. the so called "Change". and adopting to Change is a buzz word, if someone contradicts that, they are asked to leave the company. There is 36% attrition in the leadership/Manager level, speaks volume of the exodus. These guys only know talk, talk, talk no really accomplishment. HR is another disaster, their main job is to save the executive back. HR made Mistake by changing the performance rating culture and when the employees complained about pay for performance, this year they are forcing managers not to give higher rating so that way the employees do not complain about pay as the performance rating is low, saving Themselves and making millions for executives. CEO has a deaf ear to everything, don't really know the motive. It's about people not stock price.

If Visa were Game of Thrones

Pros

If Visa were Game of Thrones ... Charlie would be Cersi Lannister Ryan would be Joffrey Baratheon Michael our friendly high EQ HR EVP would be Ramsay Bolton CTO - Khal Drogo? Who wouldn't want to work here?

Cons

We really could do better - corporate drivel about how Visa performs in random listings as the best place to work (LinkedIn what methodology are you using?) but ignoring direct employee feedback - we are not stupid guys. Cutting comp by 6% without warning. Annual employee survey results always the same but nothing improves - often it gets worse.
