Charles W. Scharf
I have been working at Visa Inc. full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Has one of the best benefit packages including 401k, bonuses, Health and dental benefits
Cons – Lack of minorities in management and upper management roles. Promotes base on favoritism not talent and experience.
Advice to Senior Management – A multi-billion dollar company should never cut corners on providing excellent service. Outsourcing is never the answer. You loose the control that you so valuably need to retain and increase you customer and client portfolio
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Visa Inc. full-time for more than a year
Pros – Excellent financial performance
Evolving/improving corporate culture
Smart hardworking talent base
Healthy communicative environment
Great benefits & work life balance
Cons – Can be conservative at times
More creative thinkers needed
Advice to Senior Management – While our clients are banks, Visa is not a bank. Our clients need us to be innovative and creative where they cannot. Challenge Visa employees to think bigger and empower them to do bigger--and support these activities with cutting edge resources.

I have been working at Visa Inc. full-time
Pros – Smart, diverse and professional people and friendly culture. Great benefits and competitive salary/bonuses. Plenty of autonomy. Flexible work schedule (I work from home 1-2x/week).
Cons – It can be a bit political in some groups. New ideas are encouraged, but processes are sometimes slow to change.
Advice to Senior Management – Please maintain the work/life balance and ability for flexible schedules/work from home, which differentiates us from most other companies.

I have been working at Visa Inc. full-time for less than a year
Pros – - Decent compensation package
- Global brand name
- Respected brand name
Cons – - No where close to the Silicon valley culture
- Politics is one of the worst. Everyone is out to protect their territory. No one thinks of what is the best for the company.
- Managed services model leads to wastage of time and money way more than any other bay area company.
- Not a place for "the bright" minded people. Be prepared to become mediocre.
- Senior management does not connect with employees/ teams - very silo'ed culture.
- Too many project managers and that derails every project you work on.
- Too cumbersome a process to deliver anything. amazing nightmare!
Advice to Senior Management – Fix the cons if possible, or you will see bright minds leaving or not joining any more.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Visa Inc. full-time for more than a year
Pros – Good benefits and bonus plan.
Cons – Filled with a lot of unproductive a** kissers waiting for retirement.
Promotions and hirings happen more often than not depending on who you know. The 'old boys' network still exists here.
Stay away, unless you want small chunks of your soul chipped away everyday.
Office environment is dull and lifeless.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
