Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Visa to a friend?
Yes
Why?
The company itself is always an option to go for this placement as it is one of the biggest payment companies known however, there is the most welcoming team and supporting employers I have ever known. Its not all strict corporate living Visa is an environment where you can feel creative whilst working in a team that support you all the way. That's why I would recommend Visa to anyone not just friends.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Visa?
Don't be who you think Visa want, be yourself.
