Pros

Visa is a great company to work for and has many international opportunities. Career progression is in your own hands, very few managers and certainly no one in HR will help you develop so go in with the mind set to make waves and burn your own path. Do not expect people to layout your path for you. Take the bull by the horns and be brave, with that and a measure of respect and dignity you will do well in the company. Your work colleagues for the most part will be wonderful and extremely diverse in their thinking and experiences. Skilled, smart and full of industry knowledge. Everyone except HR that is, there might be 5 or 6 people in the entire HR team globally who are clandestine activists among the flock of sheep. It has it's problems but I wouldn't let them discourage you from coming here.

Cons

For years employee engagement has been a key issue, and frankly a lot of people complete the surveys with high marks so their area doesn't get tasked with fixing their own issues. The underlying issues of the organization are never addressed and the responsibility of engagement is handed down to the employees who said they weren't that engaged to begin with, and they wonder why it never improves... HR is at best incompetent and at worst an insidious puppet of senior management. Socialization of employees outside of work is extremely limited

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits, although they are going away rapidly. Nice facilities in all locations. There are some very good people still here.

Cons

Toxic working environment, terrible management as far as being people managers. All process and Yes people. They Are extremely forthcoming with all kinds of useless information while keeping the important information under wraps or lying about it. Been there 16 years and have watched it go from a fun exciting place to work that people where proud of to a place where people are asking to be laid off and flat out just leaving.

Pros

Only that the core business philosophy is strong. Credit goes to the people who built the company during its growth.

Cons

The company at one point really believed in its core value and created a business model which has given it a momentum. But, since the arrival of new CEO and his hirings of exec management, the inner culture and the value game of the company is going downhill. In the last 3 years, Visa has really not launched a product where it makes money. The original core network processing still accounts for 95-97% of its revenue. The rest is all fake and showcase by the new exec team who are like flies that come for the juice. Yes parasites. And they know the fraud game too well. Create fear and on its name do every bluff that exists. It's going downhill. Most of the people who believed in creating value have left. The company will fall on its face soon.
