Mastercard reviews

Everything in this organisation for career growth is based on who you know and if you have a powerful sponsor. This is not something that many PoC have so there are very few ways for them to grow their careers. All of the DEI awards Mastercard has accumulated is based solely on the work they have done in the United States, where they are mandated by regulations to support PoC. As there are no such mandates in the UK, there are no programmes. In fact as of 2022, there are no senior leaders of African descent in UK&I. There are Directors, VPs and 1 SVP working out of the UK office but they dont report into the UK&I management structure,

- there are as many cultures as there are managers; the company culture is weak or non-existent - virtually all the acquisitions made in the past 7 years have flopped - senior leadership does not hold itself accountable (e.g. for failed acquisitions) - pays a lot of lip-service to (management cannot stop talking about) doing good but has invested very little in that area in reality - to get promoted and do well in the company, you need to schmooze, be from a certain South Asian country and/or have godfathers. It operates like a country club.
