Visa

Good pay, travel opportunities, international brand value.

Very good place for people who want to settle and retire.

Very poor management, pay disparity, etc.

The whole visa team of the India center was hired in the last 2-3 years. They have a huge strength of people at entry positions and mid-senior levels who are very enthusiastic and hardworking, but the upper management is very weak. They are definitely ignorant, visionless, and sometimes feel incompetent for their jobs. Also, they had no work when they hired people.

There were teams who had no work for 5-6 months. Visa hired a huge workforce of very smart people from colleges across the country, but as we move up the hierarchy, it is totally the opposite. The higher management comes from places and believes in strong politics and flattery rather than good technical or management skills. Eventually, it is like people leading the teams have a huge disparity with the team and no idea about projects. They push their teams for patents to show they are doing good, but they have zero contribution towards it in reality.

HR is a total other problem; they have no idea about company policies. They do things randomly and mess things up for employees. Payroll management is very bad.

1. Hire people when you need them.
2. Sort things in terms of culture, whether it is a service-based or product-based company. (It is currently a mix of both.)
3. Replace either seniors or juniors on the basis of the second point.
