Pros

Global company, good benefits, and if you select the right division within MasterCard you'll find strategic growth opportunities. Unfortunately, I cannot write more than 20 words expressing "pros".

Cons

I worked under Loyalty Solutions, Merchant Value Proposition team based in San Carlos. The lack of leadership, strategy, and management is why I decided to leave MasterCard, and why the attrition rate is at an all time high within that division. Management went through a huge re-org, implementing a new management team that is mediocre at best.

Pros

Actively encourage people movement globally. Great opportunity to learn in a technology company. Globally focussed. Willing to think outside of the box to get customer solutions to market

Cons

Politics. Sometimes slow to make decisions and execute. Could be more sales focussed. Seems that at times they just accept that customers will sign on the dotted line because of the brand!
