Pros

There are really none. Diminished benefits, and salaries and bonuses do not reflect a company with this profitability or growth, nor are raises and bonuses allocated on merit.

Cons

Age discrimination is rampant - even though HR woke up and deployed an intern to respond with untrue messaging to some reviews in mid November for the first time ever. They are trying to stem the flow of extremely negative reviews. Visa is a place that is too heavy with titles who have little to no talent, and the amount of bickering, infighting and recriminatory behavior is a daily occurrence. Visa looks great from the outside, but is is a horrible place to work, grow, have your talent recognized or move ahead. Reward is totally based upon image factors and who you know. Drive to be diverse has displaced great people and recent wave of hundreds of people laid off are disproportionately older 40+. Huge talent drain. Chaos ensues.

Pros

- Globally recognized brand - Decent 401k - Looks good on a resume, for the most part - Opportunity for some pretty good experience for 2-3 years before they lay you off.

Cons

-HR here is atrocious and utterly neurotic half the time. Some of the senior HR leaders inflate their self worth and dodge layoffs; failing to realize they are a core part of the problem. (Look at the high turnover on some of the teams). - Employee Relations is joke. Raise a legitimate issue with a manager, and ER runs and hides. - A lot of the systems and tools available are quite archaic and difficult to use. - Difficult to get things done due to endless approval loops by people too scared to take risks or the initiative. - "Internal mobility" is a joke.

Pros

Some of the dumbest and most incompetent people you will ever meet in finance or tech, who have problems using even MS office. So any average schmuck like me looks like a superstar among them

Cons

One of my colleagues was subjected to harassment and HR totally ignored her. All leaders are old fashioned and lazy people who just want to make slides and take credit for your work.
