No longer an Employer of Choice

Pros

Top tier Visa brand and reputation made this entity great. The vast Visa network has or will become the yardstick in many countries. The competition grows but is as yet unable to replicate, improve upon or supersede Visa.

Cons

There has always been change at Visa. The frequency of change over the past few years however, is destabalizing. The new trend to eliminate or reduce employee benefits shows Visa up to be just another greedy corporation. We are becoming average and so will Visa's products.

Worse place to work

Pros

- 401k is absurd. 6% matching and another 6% to an IRA available if you're there for 3 years. - Great place to get H1B sponsorship - Awesome place to go if you don't want to do any meaningful work and want to just wait for retirement

Cons

- Depending on department, you either have super relaxed work life balance or super intense with ridiculous timelines. - 0 0 0 0 bugs which is impossible and causes so much unnecessary stress and pressure for the team - Not diverse - Boys club where all the senior execs are all long time friends and self promote, doesn't promote qualified leaders and promotes close friends - Unnecessarily difficult to get anything done: tickets to turn on AC on weekends, macbooks for developers, everything is monitored by IT - Employee happiness survey results are ignored by management.

Past Better Than Future

Pros

Digital payments is a growing area with great potential for new innovations and expanding the use of digital payments in underserved communities. Good compensation, although there is a steady decrease in benefits, bonuses, etc. You can find some very bright and talented individuals within the company.

Cons

Executive level turnover and corresponding department reorganizations have become the norm, and many individuals who had a deep understanding of payments have been lost in the process, either by choosing to leave or being forced out. Leadership is not particularly employee friendly. Attempts to become "more like Silicon Valley companies" are not effective as this is not intended as a desire to incorporate any of the positive cultural aspects of those companies. Having succeeded in ending bank ownership through its IPO, Visa seems to have gone backward by bringing in a CEO from Chase. I suspect Visa's ability to compete with new industry entrants over the long term will require a different leader with a more visionary and creative perspective.
