Market Leader but spoilt by wrong decisions

Pros

1. Great benefits and work-life balance 2. Very intelligent development team and architects

Cons

1. No clue where the company is going to !! Agile work culture is not at all working correctly. 2. Senior management and leadership team lacks vision and not up-to-date 3. Career framework developed at the end of 2013 completely shocking by putting many management, security and service teams highly paid than real technical resources. 4. Decisions are slow and new trials/improvements are completely lacking

Pros

Very profitable company with real opportunities to expand into digital market. The pay is good and the culture is/was rewarding.

Cons

The management structure does not work. The recent reshuffle has placed peers as board member directors and this is not having the desired effect. There are still too many 'Senior Managers' who have very little/no commercial experience or business acumen. They now serve as blockers to the board and are making progress very difficult. The speed at which the re-org is being completed has resulted in board members who unfortunately do not have the leadership skills to make decisions and drive the required change.

Interesting, but lacks leadership

Pros

Some of the most intellectually challenging and engaging work I have ever been involved in. Scope of (industry) influence can be very high. Most employees committed and believe in Visa and work-life balance is generally manageable (though getting worse). High profile brand opens doors and compensation is generally OK

Cons

Very little leadership, but lots of management and process results in zero accountability (outside the exec and sometimes not even there), confused/poor decision making throughout the organisation, lots of "paper-pushers" and limited opportunity for talent to rise to the top. Little evidence that the new CEO is changing this. Business and governance models dictate that politics are a dominant factor - both internally and externally. It is not an environment conducive to collaborative working or rapid decisions/execution and can feel very slow to anyone from a more commercial background
