Visa Inc. reviews

Visa is a great place to work on paper. But in reality, it is one of the most dysfunctional corporations I've seen. The senior management is totally disconnected from the rest of the company and routine decisions that are made by mid level employees at other companies are required to get CEO approval. Even opening POs of $5.000 require CEO/CFO approval, creating a huge logjam. Our CEO has cut back the size and scope of our employee survey instead of addressing negative feedback and while the company enjoys record profit margins, budgets are continually slashed, pitting colleagues against each other and forcing political chess matches instead of teamwork and collaboration. There is no respect for work/life balance and forget about a real vacation - managers have no respect for time off - even expecting 24/7 connectivity for non-essential functions.

The HR leadership team is made up of a lot of fluff and little substance. The lack of self awareness is shocking and there is little collaboration among the leaders. There is little empowerment and engagement, and if you voice your concerns you get your hand slapped - managers have the power, employees have no say in how they are being treated which is why employees take to Glass Door or the anonymous Employee Survey to convey their frustrations. HR Leadership is hiring Leaders who care more about their own personal agenda then supporting the Visa employee base and HR team. The passive aggressive nature of the ego centric Leaders is harmful. You don't need to hear HR employees comments to realize that HR is a train wreck with poor leadership, the Attrition numbers speak for themselves. Unfortunately, management turns a blind eye and just says, change is good. True, but when its in the high double digits it is a red flag.
