Pros
Visa's biggest strength is its market share and with VE acquisition there is tremendous potential for the company but there are head winds and disruptive innovations in the Payments space.
Cons
Given the geography they operate in and the industry (fintech), benefits are not comparable. Compensation is generally much lower than most tech companies in the bay area for similar job functions i.e. staff engineer, director, sr director etc are all well below market compared to other peers in the bay area. With the recent decision to take out a key total compensation benefit there is widespread employee anger and disbelief. The callous communication to employees plus complete radio silence and spin by the Exec Management only made matters worse. It is going to be tough to retain some of the top talent or attract any new talent with this latest development. As evidenced by the number of reviews on Glassdoor in the recent days, employee morale and discontent is at an all time high.
