Pros

Nothing good any longer here

Cons

Long Term Incentive is a trap that many fall for. You will never get any stocks because they will eliminate your job before those are vested. One of my previous manager was a workaholic who earned good chunk, but they moved his position to Pune. Management that is managing Pune does lot of favors to their friends and family in Pune.

Pros

God company if you are in the right role under a good boss (People matter in Mastercard)

Cons

Hiring peiople seems to be a "hobby" gven the huge profit margin the business earns.....Seniors who have spend 10 plus years in the ssytem seems to run their division like a personal business and find it easy to hire people, take credit for their work, pass the balme for any short comings they have due to personal ego with other peers, force people to resign, .....Nightmare is the only way to define if you work with wrong boss in this place.....highly political.......doesnt care for spending money on hiring and firing...no efforts taken to retain talent......God help sustain this company in the long run under such leaders......

Pros

Pay is typically above average. Great Bonus. The overall brand is stellar. Good job if you are a yes-man or yes-woman and can put up with a large work load and be able to take the blame for dropping the ball while performing miracles.

Cons

Management rotations and constant team splitting and merging. Health Insurance going to High Deductible Plan as only offering. Too much time is spent on attracting millenials with gimmicks like scooters and arcade games. They want to be a tech company but management and the employee review process is structured not like a tech company, it is rigid and used as fodder to abuse those that question management.
