Pros

Can't think of any pros.

Cons

Visa is actually not a tech company. If you're a developer, you might want to research the group you're about to join.

The culture in this company is harsh. In my group, I can say there are only two or three people who are really capable of doing stuff, and the others are just very good at office politics. No one cares if you're capable or not. The first thing you have to do is have your manager like you, period.

Also, the diversity in certain groups is zero. The director has a certain favoritism for a certain race (e.g., Indian) that takes up almost 80% of the whole group.

In conclusion, I can't feel I'm in a tech company at all. People care more about office political battles than real work.
