Visa Inc. reviews

Office environment is a cross between The Office and Game of Thrones. Get to know your boss and kiss his/her a, or you're in for a very rough ride. Mind bending politics and nonstop email pretty much dictate your entire day. Your only incentive is to avoid getting stabbed in the back by someone you've worked with for years but you don't always see it coming. Pay is below market and exec management is constantly lowering expectations about how well the company is performing, despite ever increasing profits. Bottom line: if you're going to get abused, at least get paid market value somewhere else.

I don't know where to start. My experience is much more in line with the 1 and 2 star reviews. I worked in IT and the group I was in was so dysfunctional it was painful. I think the CTO has set the tone for entire organization and it's not pleasant. They have a deluded vision that they want to be a tech company so they installed a couple of foosball tables and open work spaces, then have proceeded to replace competent long term employees with less experienced (but new and shiny?) new hires. Basically in the words of Heidi Klum "one day you're in and the next day you're OUT!!" HR reply to one of the other reviews tells you all you need to know about the culture. Reviewer expressed concern about how "diversity" seemed to be decreasing in IT and was condescendingly told "Sorry to hear that you feel challenged by diversity within your organization" Typical Visa response. If you have a concern it couldn't possibly be anything other than your own problem. Also managers will let problems fester until last possible moment so that they can rush in and save the day. Whole place is crazy. If you are considering an offer here you can probably do better elsewhere. Billions in profit and they act like they are poor, won't give raises, cut benefits, etc. As stated by others depending on what group you are in it can be quite a sweatshop environment with no work life balance and constant fire drills and manufactured emergencies.
