Continuous re-orgs and policy changes hurt worker morale; don't plan to stay past 50

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits, good people, good work-life balance. Visa tries to stay innovative and is constantly growing which provides more opportunities for employees. Transfers to other locations are sometimes available or encouraged.

Cons

Despite much lip service paid to changing, Visa oprates in silos. It can be hard to get needed information, money for projects can wither away. Communication is poor from the top down. Visa is very big in outsourcing resulting in job loss for long time workers.
