Mastercard Response
8yThank you for sharing your thoughts. I am sorry to hear that you feel like things are changing for the worse. While there have been recent changes to some of our benefits impacting future hires, many of the things you mention do not highlight the positive changes that have occurred from integrating with the Mastercard benefits plans. When we were acquired by Mastercard in 2015, every APT employee was given an additional 5 personal days, as well as 3 community service days, which as a whole has made our PTO plan very generous. Along with an increase in paid time off, the recent changes have also included an increase to our maternity (16 weeks at 100% paid) and paternity (8 weeks at 100% paid) leaves, added family care benefits, two additional community service days, more generous STD and LTD plans, corporate sports team and tuition assistance. While it’s true there is a 4 year vesting period on 401K, the recently increased 401k match to 10% is well above industry standards.
The APT office space is intended to promote collaboration amongst teams and the recent “pod” addition is a temporary solution until our expansion to an additional floor is completed. At APT, we are committed to preserving our small-company culture as we continue to collaborate with our Mastercard colleagues. We do not want you to be unhappy with the recent changes and hope that you’ll be able to see the positive changes that have occurred. I encourage you to talk to your HR Partner to get a better understanding of your total benefits package.
