Visa

Compensation is slightly higher than other product companies.

Free cab, snacks, fruits, soft drinks, and subsidized meals.

Office space was really good until 2016. Now they're run out of seats, and most new employees have no place to sit and work.

There are 5-6 divisions here at Visa Bangalore. MAP is the worst of the lot. Managers with 10-15 years of experience are designated as Directors, and that job title has gone into their arrogant heads. They treat all non-Directors as lesser human beings and have no respect for them.

Some senior managers have gone a step ahead with their colorful hobbies. In the name of increasing diversity, they hire only women and start a cycle of mutual trade-offs. The rule is clear: stay close to senior managers (at times quite literally), go out for parties with them, get drunk, engage in extracurricular activities, and you'll be rewarded with all recognition awards and promotions.

Work-life balance is almost non-existent for people who work. Some slog 16 hours a day and are forgotten at the end of the year during appraisal. Others with specific qualities log out at 5 in the evening and are hailed as top performers by the management.

Make employees feel that they're important. Otherwise, the extraordinarily high attrition rates will continue, and you'll keep on hiring all year long (if it matters to you at all).
