Pros

Great place and environment to work. Offices are very pleasing, great meeting rooms and conditions overall. Has employee stock options program, impressive health insurance coverage for whole family. Great work-life balance. Been working at Mastercard for over 3 years now and I couldn't be happier. Definitely one of the best places I've worked so far.

Cons

Sometimes it's difficult to have a slot available at the office. Would also prefer 2 days in office instead of 3. Also, no food available in the office on daily basis.
