Pros

- Flexible working hours - Good processes defined - lots of parties with open bar - zero paper work on day 1 of joining - laptops for everyone & great network

Cons

- all policies and culture are derived from USA, which not always suits Indian work culture - if you are related (friend or family) to some manager then you are recruited! As time grew I found that there are a lot of people in my team related to each other; lots of favors and spying going around. Manager has recruited his brother's son, wife's sister, neighbor's wife, friend's sister and wife - dangerous team ever!! - no onsite

Pros

Didn't experience political barriers when speaking with upper management to seek feedback. Skip levels are a part of the corporate culture. Becoming more transparent but opportunities still needed to "walk the talk"

Cons

Pushing employees to work more hours instead of working smarter and more efficiently. Project management needs to be managed at a higher level (don't worry about the insignificant details). Overwhelming workload which was difficult in order to balance work and life.

Pros

Flexible work environments, Brand name, else I do not see any Pros in here.

Cons

As mentioned few other people on Glassdoor, the company is not interested in to their employees, Ajay says if you love to interact with people from different diversity MasterCard is the best place, but I would like to say its opposite. If you a boot polisher and do so for your manager you will be safe else your manager will throw you out of the window. US people see India center as a laborers and expect Indians to work 24 hours. I have not see a single day where you have not worked for more than 13-14 hours. Its a trap. BL's & SBL's enjoy they come late to office and leave early in a span of 4 - 5 hours in office only. But if you will do so you will be scrtunized. MasterCard is a den of fear and retaliation and only a place for people who put up and shut up for the sake of job security. MasterCard in India is backward and cultish and will never excel unless it removes such BL's & SBL's from the organization else MasterCard is gonna spoil its name heavy in nearby future. We have always heard no company is bad or good, its their managers who make it good or bad, and this is what happening in Pune. If you raise your voice you have to face retaliations which MasterCard says retaliations would not be done... MasterCard says internal movement is allowed with in MasterCard but only if you are a boot polisher.
