Visa Inc – “A whole lotta work”

Pros

Certain benefits surpass the market.

Cons

The world's biggest start-up has entered the market. Be prepared to work 50 - 70 hours/week with very little reward or acknowledgment. The environment and culture are solemn and depressing as the company continually carries out ninja-style rounds of layoffs (often weekly). Appreciation is not a word that the company appears to have adopted in its vocabulary, except of course if one is at the management level.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to the minions.
