Pros

Lots of smart and talent people. Great to see such passionate people who are willing to share their knowledge.

Cons

With relatively recent management hires, they've come in and basically said that what we've been doing all along was wrong. So they're tearing up structure, changing work flows, hiring all their own staff. All the things that made Visa great are slowly being chipped away. But it's like a pendulum, it has to get worse before they start making it better. I hope.
