Pros: Great place to work. The benefits are incredible and they are flexible.

Cons: Sometimes, the place can be bureaucratic.

Pros: At first, I was incredibly excited to be part of the Visa team. I had a great manager who allowed us lots of technical freedom to innovate cutting-edge solutions for the company.

Cons: Innovation is actually NOT encouraged at Visa, despite all of the vapid catchphrases trotted out by the HR people. Their only job, it would seem, is to spy on and lay off employees. Incompetence is rewarded greatly at Visa, as is being an Indian male. The EVP of Technology clearly has an agenda to destroy the company while the CEO smugly watches. Smart people have been run out the door over the last year. Others simply left around the holidays, without giving notice, to go elsewhere, since anywhere else is better. This company is a terrible place to be if you are a software engineer, or smart, or innovative, or if you want to make the company better.

Pros: Team is very talented and skilled. Manager is open-minded and delivers in providing good opportunities.

Cons: The engineering team needs better planning when it comes to the individual engineers. It feels like sometimes it hasn't been decided who is doing what. Visa very much wants to be part of the big tech conversations, but they need to provide two things to accomplish that: * Allow more opportunities to hear out ideas from employees. * The compensation to match the skills of the employees.
