Pros

Well known brand. Used to pay pretty well.

Cons

This place is a mess. Turnover is high. Politics are horrible. Management is focused only on the biggest banks and Wall Street. There is no true, honest engagement with the rank and file. The CEO and his team don't make any effort to understand the issues facing employees. They just cut the pension benefit and announced it in a sneaky way so as to hide it from employees. They also just raised health care costs, yet the company is making record margins. BTW - i would note that Visa pays Glassdoor to promote the best reviews, yet the company rating has been declining on glass door. That speaks volumes. Read the reviews carefully. The themes are the same -- largely negative. There is no real innovation. Visa tries to fast follow, but is slow and limited to what the big banks let them do. The tech team lacks direction The Marketing and Comms team is collapsing due to lack of leadership and poor managers

Pros

The work/life balance is decent.

Cons

Despite making record profits, Visa continues to strip away benefits from its employees in 2015. On top of completely removing the pension plan, Visa also decided to increase its healthcare plan cost by 20%. If you decide against your better judgement to come work here, be sure to negotiate a high salary as your annual raises will likely be 1.5%!! The leadership team at Visa needs to get a clue and realize this company is nothing without its dedicated, hard-working employees.

Pros

Great global brand, huge opportunity to convert cash to electronic payments and huge long term upside (according to management). Global opportunities.

Cons

I believe Unethical Executive Management. They eliminated 6% retirement pension funding in the quarter in which they reported RECORD multi billion dollar profits, industry leading margins and the stock price hit an all-time high along with record multi million dollar executive management pay.
