Pros

Excellent opportunity to be part of the technological advances, to learn very sophisticated environments, if you are curious, get an amazing experience. Many intelligent people are around, but the number is decreasing unfortunately...

Cons

There are so many - not sure where to start. Lack of recognition for the people internally - all leaders' positions are offered to outsiders. No life and work balance Management does not care about employees, even when they say so - they are all for themselves and about their careers. Most of managers do not care about what is good for the business, they have no concept of RIGHTS and WRONGS - they are all about themselves No sense of ownership and accountability The environment is getting less and less inspiring: LEADERS do not lead by example; the honesty, common sense and "doing the right thing" are not popular anymore A person is not important anymore...an individual person's value is similar to that in Chine or ex-Communist countries.

Pros

Pay, benefits, opportunity for international travel and/or interaction with other cultures, opportunity to live in San Francisco and reverse commute, opportunity to work for one of the great business stories of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Cons

Association culture (pre-IPO) is still alive in some pockets. Visa was a place for mediocre people to go and have a comfy 20 year run with minimal effort due to the duopoly with MasterCard. Some association dinosaurs still roam the halls. The association culture bred a level of pettiness and politics I have never seen in any other organization. Meetings after meetings after meetings. You're only one re-org away from working for a horrible person. Payments industry is dull, dull, dull to begin with, but when you layer on aging, mediocre bankers and ex government (Fed) executives who land at Visa to put a cherry on top of their mediocre careers, it becomes not just dull but soul-destroying.

Pros

A good work life balance is VE's main attraction. Also it has a leading position in the market at present and thus offers opportunities to really get a good grounding in the payments services industry

Cons

The very top management are not great leaders with limited external experience. Any challenge is taken personally and decision making is weak. Association model is reflected internally by slow reaction to market forces with confused vision for the future
