      Great company, Bad Technology leadership

      Pros

      Great Brand, with awesome potential to transform the payments landscape for decades to come. Great benefits and compensation

      Cons

      Visa is a great company with good benefits. The current Technology leadership is by far one of the worst I have seen in my 20 yrs career in the technology industry. The current leaders are former program managers who has very low technical skill but very high political skill. Asks bookish questions that are not relevant to technical discussions, which annoys technical managers. Promotes nepotism. One of the Senior Leader joined as an individual contributor less than 3 yrs ago, after three quick promotions, he is now a senior leader responsible for important Engineering and Operations functions and probably more soon. His only qualification for his current position is his political and manipulation skills. Engineering is a transformational role in the organization; Visa needs a transformational technologist and not a politician in this role. This is the current state of Technology leadership at Visa, managed by a bunch of program managers who are politicians and not technologists. My colleagues have more horrible stories of nepotism in their respective product teams, especially in one of the newly formed groups in India.

      Was once a great place to work, new technology executive leadership is a class A bully

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, good compensation, great people in the trenches who are presented with road block after road block from executive management vs. empowerment and getting things done. Visa is undergoing a culture shift to a more agile lean organization, and I sincerely hope they're successful in the long run.

      Cons

      In the short term though... The company is not willing to admit the executive technology leadership was the wrong person to bring in. Leadership style is that of a class A bully who would rather degrade, demean, and insult you in front of an entire room than actually perform as a leader cultivating the talent that brought Visa to where it is. Demanding only hiring of ivy league talent and people with job offers from Facebook and Google is not the solution to a culture shift in a financial organization, and senseless executive style blogging on linkedin is not an effective motivation tool. The exit door is spinning faster than the entry door, and management is not willing to expose the primary reason which has been called out in countless exit interviews over and over again.

      Pros

      benefits and work/life balance. used to feel like i was making a significant and valued contribution; still can in limited pockets.

      Cons

      new exec mgmt continues to cut back on all forms of compensation and benefits. morale is much worse than even a few years ago. it's clear that the exec's are in it for themselves, while giving employees good lip service at best.
