      Pros

      - Good benefits - There are cafés which is good, I guess? - CEO came in to make cultural changes that were immediately resisted. So pro on CEO, con on existing leadership.

      Cons

      - Extremely sycophantic behavior from management like nothing I have ever seen before and I have been in my field for 12 years. One manager stole medication right off my desk and HR suggested I was the problem. Who has a 6 figure salary and steals medication? - You will work when your manager says so. Children and family sick? Well, I hope you find some extra time to finish your 11 hour workday... - No opportunity for advancement unless you are politically advantageous. All opportunities for advancement are instead hired from the outside as an unofficial policy. - Visa is a sausage shop. Everyone is happy with the product but you wouldn't wish seeing its creation on your worst enemy.

      Pros

      Since new Chairman has come on board, there is much more emphasis placed on the importance of people and leadership. It's a refreshing change. The culture feels more vibrant and employees seem happier.

      Cons

      There are still "leaders" in place that need to be called out for who and what they are - bullies to the employees who work for them who are afraid to go to HR because the "leaders" are beyond reproach. There's still red tape. While there's talk of improved compensation, nothing has materialized.

      Great for executives but terrible for rank and file

      Pros

      It has a great brand and good work-life balance.

      Cons

      Grossly over-staffed, siloed culture of under-employed and de-motivated employees Out of touch with Silicon valley ethos Titles are highly exaggerated. Directors at Visa do the work of analysts in the rest of the valley and get paid at manager levels. Company took away employee retirement benefits to 'align' with rest of valley but never compensated employees in stock like the rest of valley. Employees are under-paid. They need a complete org structure overhaul They lay off people indiscriminately because they have over-hired but still have several hundred open positions. Work is unrewarding, tedious and there is no recognition or growth
