Do not recommend it if you are young and smart
Pay is good, and it has good work/life balance.
-
Unqualified Managers: Many managers are unqualified compared to my previous 20-year work experience at IBM, HP, etc.
-
Low-skilled engineers: In Visa, there are many very low-skilled senior engineers. They do not have basic software development skills, but they still get good reviews and are promoted.
-
Lack of diversity: Too many engineers from India, probably 70-80%. Some teams are pure Indian engineers, even if they are in Austin. Indian hires Indian, Indian promotes Indian.
-
Unfair Review: Reviews are more about politics instead of real skills and contributions. Visa does not have a proper way to let employees appeal for unfair reviews.
If you are young and want to develop your software career, please avoid it.
Improve the quality of the management team and provide a fair annual review. Try to fix the workforce diversity issue.
