Visa Inc. Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Once upon a time, it was salary, but now other companies in the valley offer more.. Work/Life balance is good only until it is used against you in a focal review. Industry leader because of the revenue coming in from VisaNet card network earnings. They have Shuttles from various parts of the Bay.

Cons

Everything other than the core Visa card network business is a joke. People have been working here for over 20 years and have institutionalized this place into one that instills fear, dishonesty, backstabbing and mediocrity. Management at mid level is only mediocre. There is a saying, "A players hire more A players, B players hire C players", Visa falls into the latter. I know some who do not even have a decent bachelor's degree. If you suck up to your management, you can get away with practically anything, otherwise you could be the hardest worker in the room and still be unknown to the decision makers.

Pros

Generally colleagues are friendly and helpful. Salary and benefits are fairly good compared with industry standards. Work & life balance is good as far as most of the projects you're handling are running smoothly.

Cons

People managers evaluate staffs based on favoritism. Favoritism and internal political relationship matters much more than your performance for external clients. It's very important to make friendly relationship with internal staffs, not to be targeted at any downturn. Since it's a big organization in Singapore now, so many departments are made to manage small part of business processes (such as implementation, configuration and testing teams exist separately), which bring more internal approval processes and longer lead time.

Pros

Visa really cares about its employees from the top level leadership to the manager level. The company places a big emphasis on wellbeing, especially during covid.

Cons

Leadership often emphasizes a work life balance but that is not always translated with day to day work.

Pros

Good benefits Good work life balance ( this depends on the position you are at and who you work for)

Cons

Lots of Politics on different levels. To much for my taste compare to other companies. No safe place for storing the bike -if you are cycling to work.

Pros

Good work life balance and stable

Cons

Career promotion circle is long.

Pros

Salary and benefits of the employees

Cons

If you are looking for joining operations or production support kind pf work there is no work life balance . And no diversity with in my team all indians and lot of politics with in team. Its like a school.Not sure about other teams.

Pros

Work life balance Half day Fridays in the summer No meeting Friday afternoons in the winter

Cons

Return to office has become mandatory Promotion path unclear

Pros

The team I worked with has good tech, and I liked most of my team members. Work/life balance is good; many people have children and management does not raise any fuss when people take PTO.

Cons

This seems to be a company that undervalues tech talent, and focuses their love on the business side even though the core product is supposedly their tech.

Pros

You can work on the same business case for four years and get paid more in salary than the business case will ever make. Awesome work life balance and no stress about what work you have to deliver because no one does much on the business side.

Cons

Indians should be counted as a race separate from White, black, Hispanic, Other Asians. If you break them out, other Asians are also minority. You will do well if you are a brown make or female. They all help each other and no one blinks an eye.

Pros

Interesting work; good compensation and benefits

Cons

Too many silos; no work/life balance; does not really understand how to solve customer business challenges
