What people at Visa say
Reviews originally posted on Glassdoor.
Visa as a company cares about employees so much, from the work life balance to the benefits.
Great benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, PTO, bonuses, etc. Good people, there are lots of smart and determined employees who will help you navigate your company and your job. In my experience most people want you to succeed and they will help you. Its not an "every man for himself" environment.
Lots of opportunities to learn about fintech with leading fintech company
Good work/life balance, opportunities to learn new technologies, good culture, friendly coworkers
The work life balance is good. Don't really have to work late unless we're delivering something.
