Pros

It's better than a government hand out or a stick in eye. If you're a stockholder, you make money.

Cons

If you're an employee, you have a heart attack or stroke before you have chance to retire. Benefits over the last 10 years have gone from world class, to mediocre. They do a lot to impress you when you walk in the door and then yank the rug out from under you. They screw you and any attempts of success, every chance they get as long as quarterly earnings look good. It's not the same great company it was for the last 60 years, it is now officially a place for slave labor with individuals speakng english as a second language cracking the whips.

Pros

Great products. Awesome benefits Beautiful San Francisco office Exciting time for the industry Great brand

Cons

So few women in leadership roles. Starting at the top, you have to go three rungs down the ladder to find women. No development pipeline for women. The President doesn't have a single woman reporting to him (except for his secretary) and, at age 40, he's supposed to be rejuvenating the culture. They can say it's because there aren't talented women but there are a significant number of male VPs and SVPs who are unimpressive and, in some cases incompetent, and at worst, horrible managers.

Pros

Compensation, bonus target, and volunteer opportunities are competitive. The new CEO seems much like he cares for employees more. The shuttle is a nice service for employees. The Visa brand is well-known.

Cons

On the outside, Visa looks like a great company to join. It's a well-known brand and the product speaks for itself. On the inside, it's a different story. The technology is outdated, the titles are bloated, and the work is tedious. There is no true innovation or strategy. Instead, people fill their days with busy work to justify their jobs and paychecks. There is a lot of work but the company lacks strategy. The tools, processes, and technology at Visa are there to prevent you from doing work. It takes weeks for anyone to respond to you, there are so many layers of approvals, and outdated tools. The people who work at Visa are not the best and brightest but are complacent, much like the product. Everything is behind the times and even basic infrastructure is lacking. Work/life balance is non-existent and in some groups discouraged.
