Visa Inc. reviews

Terrible time management - If you do not live in Foster City, too bad. It is expected that all employees bend to California time even if that means skipping lunches and working late every day of the week. Then to actually get things done, we have to work early mornings too. No diversity - All older, Asian, and male Low morale - joined Visa with high hopes only to be brought down by a constant message in my ear saying "don't get too comfortable" Way too political - when a senior manager is brought in from another company, they bring their entire team with them and get rid of all the old, knowledgeable people. Overly complex processes - I feel as though people at Visa oftentimes complicate tasks that could and should be simple just to feel important or that they are contributing more than they actually are. They spend more time trying to convince themselves and others that they are important than actually doing work. Small things are made into very very big issues.

Draconian outdated security policies not in tune with rest of IT industry. Very hard to get work done. 50% of Workforce is aging lifers (similar to state of CA IT) and 50% H1B visa holders. NOT the tech hip image they are trying to portray now. Very cliquish and impossible to get changes or new ideas across. Extremely siloed groups that do not want to work together nor share information and point fingers at each other to the determent of the end-users. IT Management is clueless and allows chaos to reign supreme. Non-transparent communications/Group think is encouraged. Payments processing company that has the worst internal processes to get anything actually purchased unless an Act of God occurs. Very minimal amenities compared to every other "IT" company in Silicon Valley.
