Pros

Your level of involvement in the company is dictated by your performance and your willingness to work which can be both very rewarding and quite stressful. Despite the declining benefits packages in recent years they still have amazing benefits and still deserve the coveted title of 'golden handcuffs'.

Cons

There is a trend towards outsourcing and moving jobs off shore at an alarming rate. While this is primarily focused at technology centric jobs most jobs at Visa are technology based and as such assume this risk. The many internal groups within the company can be likened to warlords competing for empire growth. Management has created far to many silo's than should exist for a 2000-3000 person company. I believe this stems from many generations of management coming from the public sector and 25,000+ private sector companies where they have had process and bureaucracy replace innovation.

Pros

Brand name recognition, good growth company. They have typically had good benefits, although it appears that in the name of cost containment those are being chipped away. There are a lot of people who have been with the company for an extremely long time, which would indicate a certain amount of expertise which cannot easily be rebuilt. Fairly robust economic model.

Cons

Lateral career development instead of growth and development programs combined with the longevity of the average tenure leads to frustration on the part of workers who are looking for rapid development. This is also a period of change and transition which means that processes are undefined, not communicated well, and decision making is taking a very long time.
