Pros

Several reasons as to why working at Visa was a positive experience (this is as of 2019):

  • Good work-life balance overall.
  • Lots of fun activities: trips to adventure sports, movies, parties with teams, and so on. The intern forum was also pretty cool.
  • Real-time production projects for interns, or at the very least projects that enhance your learning.
  • Comfortable accommodation provided throughout the internship, including daily transport to the office.
  • Decent pay.
  • Visa University and Visa TV are valuable learning resources.
  • Good peer group, ranging from students across IITs, NITs, and other top institutes.
  • Cool office, which includes a gym, indoor games, massage chairs, and so much more.
  • You'll work for one of the most valuable brands in the world!
Cons

Individuals are allotted to teams without prior consideration of their personal interests. (For some, this is a big problem!)

Regardless, it's worth mentioning that HR and the managers evaluate the individual and accordingly match their role at the company most of the time.

Advice to Management

Visa's reputation as a company is among the world's best! However, many believe there's something crucial missing in the compensation given by the company. To attract more top tech talent, especially in the Indian ecosystem, many employees believe that the CTC given must include Restricted Stock Units, just like every other top tech company (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Salesforce to name a few!) provides to their employees. Providing new college grads with RSUs + competitive stock options would reflect Visa's compensation more in light of the company's stellar role in the market!
