Layoffs and Junior Engineers
For anyone in North America offices, how likely is Visa to layoff junior engineers?
got laid off, I was under VAS
the title says it all. I was given a good severance and a 2 months grace period (!!) though. Looking internally for roles but also bracing for external. No theme for my post, just wanted to put that out there.
Layoffs this week in CS in Europe
Anyone has more information ?
Heard layoff coming in CIT
Heard massive layoff coming in CIT
O&I to do more outsourcing?
I keep hearing that O&I will be getting more work done by outsourcing companies which likely means less hiring. Does that mean more layoffs? Anyone has any information?
Rumor has it…
There’s a lot of chatter that the Center of Excellence in India isn’t going so well. Work that was moved there seems to be having issues, and U.S. teams are frustrated with the quality and follow-through. I’ve also heard leadership may not be happy... — read more

Lay off without severance
It is now new tactics to save money. Giving forced NS to senior person and lay him off without giving any severance package. Thus company is saving money.This is new trend in visa
Forced Ranking
Layoffs with two NS and some forced rankings of one NS in our department VAS. Anyone else’s departments affected?
Running for the low hanging fruit
Nothing seems to have a good captaincy anymore. Sailors are shaking the boat. In Visa domain knowledge and love for systems is not rewarded anymore. New direction is looking at easy points. Share prices stumbling. Old people are let go. Maybe if... — read more
People need to learn what a layoff actually is
A layoff happens when your job role is no longer required by the company or is being restructured. Being laid off does not mean your performance has been poor, but poor performance makes it less likely for you to find another role internally. On the... — read more

Managerial Structure
I saw information that the number of reports under a manager is being reviewed. Any news? What does this mean?

I can’t believe how ridiculous this place is
Every decision needs ten approvals, processes are unnecessarily complicated, and I spend half my day putting out fires I didn’t create. I was hired to innovate, not babysit broken systems. I'm shocked Visa ever needs layoffs considering how many are... — read more
Visa Leadership Principle (not Principles)
Please note that Visa’s protection for employee harassment is at VP/SVP levels and above only. So if you are a leader/harasser by habit as long as you join us as VP or above, you will protected by HR. HRBP and ER will have your back. You will be... — read more

Rumors have been circulating that the Denver office is to close in the next 5 years or so. With the lack of investments made at the site and with Ryan’s email that just came out it seems likely. Has anyone else heard the same? Any more details?

What does layoff look like at Visa?
Is it a phone call? A Teams call with your manager and HR? Or you get locked out of your computer right away with no notice? Can someone share what one might expect?
Severance Cap?
In the old days, Visa had a severance of 1 month per year of service up to 12 months. Now I understand it's 2 weeks per year in most cases for the US - does anyone know what the cap is (in other words, at how many years does it not matter anymore -... — read more
