Pros: RSU will be available. Annual Bonus

Cons: The teams are highly disorganized, and there is no structured culture of knowledge sharing. One of the leadership teams focuses heavily on micromanagement instead of team building or empowerment. There are no meaningful team-building activities, with the focus being only on work. Weekend work has become frequent, leading to an unsustainable work-life balance. Employees are often asked to cancel or reschedule planned leaves due to poor project and resource planning.

Pros: Honestly, I struggled to find any positive aspects in this environment.

Cons: My experience at Visa has been overwhelmingly negative due to the extremely high stress and toxic work environment. Leadership often lacks managerial capability, and people in charge may not have the skills or experience to lead effectively. Mistakes, often caused by systemic issues or unclear directions, are blamed on employees rather than addressed at the source. The team culture can be dismissive of questions or concerns, leaving QA professionals without proper guidance or support. Even when unwell, employees may be expected to work or present, and psychological pressure is common. Many managers operate with a “boss-first” mentality rather than genuine leadership, continuing outdated hierarchical practices that create tension and unfair dynamics. Cons: * Excessive stress and psychological pressure * Poor leadership and lack of support * Blame-focused culture rather than problem-solving * Expectation to work while sick or under pressure

Pros: - Good amount of PTO - If you are not part of ANET (Authorize.Net), it is usually very chill.

Cons: Terribly run from a management perspective. Hard to get promoted if you aren't working on a very visible project. Pay is not great for the industry as an engineer. A lot of legacy code and bad practices over decades cause a lot of current issues.
