Business outlook
Pros
Visa has an incredible business that continues to grow as more people use credit cards and more merchants accept them. As Warren Buffet says a "ham sandwich" can run Visa and we certainly have one in technology
Cons
CTO is arrogant with no understanding of Visa business and has been wasting precious resources on quixotic ideas. There is supposedly has been a project to move transaction processing to open systems from its mainframe base more than 2 years but we are replacing Unix by mainframe in Europe! Visa Developer platform is positioned as his great big vision but he does not realize that Visa has had API's for merchants and FI's forever. He does not understand that REST is just a protocol and FI's do not care about it.
