Pros

Centrally located in Foster City

Cons

Years ago it used to be an fun place to work where teamwork and solving the business and/or technical problem was paramount. Visa also paid very well and had great benefits including a 4 to 1 ratio for matching funds in your personal 401k up to 3% of your salary - for every dollar you put toward the 401k, Visa matched it with $4. Now most of the financial advantages are gone, the retirement benefits have been significantly altered. There seem to be few reasons to be a part of the current version of Visa. Management is more concerned about budget and process than they are about the business objectives. Creativity is no longer encouraged.

Pros

Great co-workers, some leaders with integrity from Al Kelly time, great benefits, 401k, what used to be great WLB.

Cons

-Incompetent CTO and leadership, specially at the Sr Dr/ VP level, moved from Msft in troves. -No focus on product/features delivery using AI, rather useless AI tools to track productivity (LOC and other laughable outdated metrics). -All Optics, no innovation, decades behind Fintechs like Stripe in innovation. -Extreme toxic culture and politics at leadership level.
