Visa

Good brand.

Used to have good benefits, but now they are slowly being taken away. Trying to be a cool company, so may add new benefits.

Seems to be an ethical company.

1. No work-life balance; there is no life. This does depend on your manager.

2. There is no structure to the current technology transformation, which means it is chaos and a very stressful place to work. For example, they are moving their data group from Foster City to Palo Alto. There was no consideration of how employees would commute to their new office or options for employees to stay at their current location. At the new office, there was not enough parking available either. After employees made a fuss, a shuttle was added.

3. VISA is transforming its company to get rid of senior resources and hire young people, trying to be a "cool young tech" company. If you're a fresh grad with Java skills, VISA will hire you.

4. Offshoring has been going on for a year now, slowly but surely.

5. Everyone who works here is a workaholic, more or less.

Stick to what you're good at. Give better benefits to employees if you want to show that you appreciate their service.
