Pros

Great company, packed with incredibly thoughtful and talented people. Competitive salary with decent benefits package.

Cons

Poor management from C-suite downwards. Bottom line, maintaining double digit quarterly revenue is the singular focus of executives. Incredibly profitable company, little of which is passed on to the employees.

Pros

Depending on your position, you may get a good salary. Depending on your position, you may work on interesting projects, on innovative payment solutions.

Cons

Benefits are lower and lower--every year some benefits are removed--recently, newly hired employees got hired with the promise of a retirement account (6% of salary added in a retirement account), which was canceled on January 1st. The interest of your daily work may be high--or not.

Pros

The pay at Visa is the only reason to work there. They pay is often referred to as the V-trap because there is no other reason to stay there and many people suffer in silence because another job would mean a pay cut.

Cons

The culture is toxic, most people are promoted well outside of their capabilities, they are stuck in doing things the way they have always been done, no desire to fix problems, just hire more labor to mask problems, customers do NOT come first, I never met any real leaders in manager roles at Visa, just people who think leading is getting things done by pulling rank. The company has tremendous potential if they will hire good people, but the toxic "yes" men are the ones who get promoted rather than people with capabilities to transform the business to match it's potential. I would not recommend Visa to my worst enemy, the people at visa only care about themselves. They win awards left and right for customer satisfaction and best in state, it's all rigged, the customer survey questions nearly guarantee positive responses to win the awards every year rather than actually improve the customer experience. Management will spend 6 months debating things before they act on a change which takes minutes to implement. Visa is the worst organization I have ever worked for. If you are incompetent, a "yes" man, this place is for you.
