A whole lotta work

Pros

Certain benefits surpass the market.

Cons

The world's biggest start-up has entered the market. Be prepared to work 50 - 70 hours/week with very little reward or acknowledgment. The environment and culture are solemn and depressing as the company continually carries out ninja-style rounds of layoffs (often weekly). Appreciation is not a word that the company appears to have adopted in its vocabulary, except of course if one is at the management level.

Pros

- A lot to do and few people make gives you opportunity to grow - Good monetary benefits. Leaves are good to look at, only if you can avail them...

Cons

- Higher management is compromised of very old people struggled through the years and do not believe in latest technology. They believe in punch cards and what the employees to be at their desk at 9 AM, but don't want to talk about exit time. No telecommute, no work from home, no vacations. - Constant change in management is causing good talent to leave. - Very harsh way to letting employees go. They even fire their employees when they are on vacation. - No formal communication on reasons for any action taken by higher management. - Higher management is just at cost cutting without any baseline.

Pros

The benefits, pay and friendly people. Pre-IPO, it was a fantastic place to work.

Cons

The post IPO management team has removed every bit of Visa's culture that was good and made it worth coming to work every day. They are phasing out the veterans who built the brand over the years for younger MBA's who will work 80 hours a week and be on call 24/7. If you want to have a conversation with manager to share an idea, be prepared to put a deck together. Visa only knows how to communicate through powerpoint slides. Also, be prepared to spend 50% of your job working on forecast reporting and fighting over who owns the P&L.
