Pros

Good pay, good benefits. Working with most individuals is great. Most everyone takes pride in what they do. Everyone is conscience of the fact that they are at a very visible company.

Cons

The culture is extremely difficult. Even though Visa went public it is still a highly bureaucratic environment and way too political. Much of your time will be spent ensuring the right people are pleased rather than finding the right solution. And do not cross anyone. The employee evaluation process is open to all senior managers to give their opinion of you. And if you upset one of them it will continue to come back and haunt you in performance reviews, salary increases and bonuses, as well as promotions.

Pros

-Benefits & Compensation -Looks good on a resume

Cons

-It's all about who you work for. Some managers are horrible, some are not bad, very few are exceptional. If you work for a bad or so-so manager, your days are numbered. -There is no prioritization, everything is a priority. -Slow decision making and processes to get things done is complex and take too much time. For some odd reason, Visa keeps people who spend half their work week surfing the internet. -Recognition is by luck. If you happen to be on a high profile project but do little work you are more likely to be recognized and rewarded than if you do a ton of work on something not visible at the SBL level. -Some promotions are given based on their relationship with their manager, not on merit. -Open positions are often filled outside the company, completely by-passing the internal job postings making it difficult for career growth. -Many jobs are being outsourced overseas; keep this in mind if your job can be done “anywhere”. -Re-orgs are too frequent, layoffs occur nearly every week, and employee morale shows.
