Pros
  • Good company to have on your CV.
  • Training was good (though the budget was being reduced in my last year).
  • Decent benefits.
Cons

For a company which relies heavily on technology, the management had low respect for permanent development staff. There were two avenues of promotion available to technical staff, whereas there were countless opportunities for management. Management felt that technical staff could easily be replaced with insourced/outsourced staff.

Top heavy. Some projects had the same number of managers as development staff. Some teams consisted of one manager who had one "resource".

Some projects had unrealistic deadlines due to poor prior planning.

Advice to Management

As Visa is a technology company, value your technical staff more.
