Visa Inc. reviews

Years ago it used to be an fun place to work where teamwork and solving the business and/or technical problem was paramount. Visa also paid very well and had great benefits including a 4 to 1 ratio for matching funds in your personal 401k up to 3% of your salary - for every dollar you put toward the 401k, Visa matched it with $4. Now most of the financial advantages are gone, the retirement benefits have been significantly altered. There seem to be few reasons to be a part of the current version of Visa. Management is more concerned about budget and process than they are about the business objectives. Creativity is no longer encouraged.

It is a marketing company. Brand and Technology fought all the time, but eventually, Brand won most of the battles. Technology was a cost center, not a valued resource. As a technologist, this Brand-centric view really impacts technological career growth - one must become a manager to succeed, especially now that off-shoring is very commonplace. The benefits eroded over time and while the salary was still pretty good, eventually, the total package paled in comparison to other employers.
