Pros

Decent Pay and good benefits Strong revenue model Good Business leaders

Cons

Too much internal politics in the technology group starting from the top. Visa culture has changed for the worse in the last couple of years. Very unethical practices in promoting and rewarding people. The morale in the infrastructure group is declining rapidly because of few coattail leaders, who are creating conflicts in the organization for their personal carrier advancement. One of the senior leader in the group encouraged me to file a HR complaint against a VP (who is no longer with the firm) and was promised a promotion and better bonus. Few incompetent leaders who are close to the BOSS are ruining the technology organization and make it an unhealthy place to work for sincere and hard working people.

Pros

Talented workforce. Interesting assigments & work.

Cons

Years ago, for anyone in the payments industry Visa was THE place to work...and when I first started, it WAS the place to work. We worked incredibly hard but didn't mind doing so as we felt appreciated. Since day one of the new board and executive management team the morale and company as a whole has changed. It's clear we are the grunts and you are in charge...you've made that incredibly clear year after year...staff meeting after staff meeting (by the way you talk down to staff). Year after year, benefits have been stripped while executive management lines their pockets with massive bonuses and compensation.

Pros

Potential pros would be, if Visa has a particular role you can't find elsewhere, that will get you to the next place in your career, the experience may be worth going through. My sense is there used to be effort made to make the corporate culture more stable and give employees a chance to contribute pro actively, while at the same time prudently manage risk. So, though not impressive when compared to other Silicon Valley companies, not bad when compared to your average american corporate culture (especially East Coast corporate banking culture). Also, if you're looking for a 9-5 type gig, you can make that work at Visa, but why live in Silicon Valley if you're going to do that?

Cons

Except for the reasons listed in the "Pros" section, I wouldn't advise working at Visa. As mentioned above, my sense is that there used to be some effort placed on managing a reasonably effective corporate culture, with prudent risk taking, which, in all fairness, is difficult to do when you have more than twice the market share of your next closest competitor (there is something to be said for prudently maintaining one's market dominance). That said, everyone in Silicon Valley that knows anything about the payments space, knows that PayPal shouldn't even exist . . . I'll let you think about that for a second.
