Process
The recruiter told me they were going to extend an offer, and I accepted. But then I didn't hear anything else about it. After a week, I reached out, and apparently, they changed their minds and were not going to extend an offer.
He probably wouldn't have told me if I didn't reach out. Very discourteous, stringing me along for a week.

Great people - horrible processes
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Denver, Colorado, United States
July 9, 2021
Pros: The people are extremely friendly, helpful, and intelligent.
WLB is top-notch; benefits are good.
Visa is a well-trusted brand with a wide range of projects and products.
Cons: Security software and provided hardware make doing actual work infuriating. Engineers are given zero agency or privilege to do work.
Growth seems to be primarily tenure-based; it seems hard to get promoted by merit alone.
Lots of office politics and re-orgs. Upper management rarely listens or responds to feedback and surveys.
Despite being told productivity is up with remote work, everyone is being forced back into office/hybrid situations.
Woefully underpaid when comparing any company in the area.
