Visa Inc – “If you want a job that's made up of forecast reporting and deck writing, Visa is the place for you!”

Pros

The benefits, pay and friendly people. Pre-IPO, it was a fantastic place to work.

Cons

The post IPO management team has removed every bit of Visa's culture that was good and made it worth coming to work every day. They are phasing out the veterans who built the brand over the years for younger MBA's who will work 80 hours a week and be on call 24/7. If you want to have a conversation with manager to share an idea, be prepared to put a deck together. Visa only knows how to communicate through powerpoint slides. Also, be prepared to spend 50% of your job working on forecast reporting and fighting over who owns the P&L.
