Pros

I used to be proud to work at Visa. VPs, directors and managers used to serve Christmas lunch to all the employees, and they keep the doors open so that they can listen to what employees had to say. They also provided payment solutions to minorities who are impaired and cannot find the decent jobs. Thus, they cannot open the bank accounts, Visa provided reloadable cards to those people. They tried to contribute to the society around the world. That's what I liked about Visa, and I hope that Visa culture comes back in the future.

Cons

There are so many negative aspects about Visa. One thing that I could hardly understand is that they still keep some of the employees who were involved in the inside fraud. There are much more about Visa that is related to organization crimes whether it is inside or outside including Wells Fargo fraud cases.

Terrific brand but toxic environment, Senior Director Marketing

Pros

There are some really good people at Visa and the brand is very strong, so they are positioned to be the leader in a dynamically changing category. The product team is strong, growing, open minded & very dynamic. The new CEO seems really terrific.

Cons

The problem is most senior management is weak and people are more concerned about their own career than how the company is doing. So you end up having data buried or massaged to look positive. People do not want to hear truth, they want to show how successful their work is. The politics are worse than any company I have ever been in, where people are not invited to meetings based on title and not encouraged to be open and honest. There are groups that are better than others, but if you are looking to have a meaningful impact and care more about the company than your own career, this may not be the right fit for you. The company does not reward good managers and leaders. And so when the annual reorg comes up, the people at senior levels that are causing this bad culture stay.

Pros

This place pays well and if on the right team can be a great place to work.

Cons

The technology department is horribly managed and has been ran into the ground the past few years. This place has zero value for its employees.
