Pros

Exposure to global environment Excellent Benefits

Cons

Advancement opportunities and career develop are strong selling points during the interview process. In reality if your not a close friend or relative expect your advancement prospects to be limited. Job opportunities are not posted for everyone to apply. It is a very closed restrictive culture.

Pros

If you are willing to learn then you might get few chance to grow at the same time keeping in mind that you would face lots of barrier for doing extra work, there are lot of people who are in comfort and they will try to let you down when ever some try to do something innovative or new.

Cons

Personally doesn't refer anyone to work at MasterCard Vadodara office because here people tendency and mindset is just like cheap guy working in a small company full of politics. And if you are good at handling politics then it's a good place to work because manager here at this location only to buttering specially in QA where they are not willing to learn and develop. Good company but typically older company culture C-Sam

Pros

Flexi work hours, plush office, brand name

Cons

MasterCard India is a let down to the reputation and brand name of MasterCard Worldwide. Global Policies are employee friendly however diluted when they are extended to India. Eg: lack of open mindedness toward internal job shifts, working from home, no transparency in appraisals. A lot of money is put into lavish town halls and activities however raises to employees is denied in appraisals. Perhaps the only company offering zero hikes in salary appraisal even to performers. Your experience skills,capability and contribution hardly matters what matters is who you know and what they feel about you. In India one is supposed to be multi tasking, flexible and taking more responsibility as opposed to other locations globally. Discrimination towards people inherited from acquired entity. Too much hypocrisy, micro management and spying. Senior management has no clue where are they heading? Objectives are flexed. Ajay Banga is an amazing CEO wish we could say the same about the local CEOs. Procrastinators are abundant within senior management. HRD India is worst - lack empathy and maturity, the MC policies privileges w.r.t awards, rewards, work life balance etc are best exploited by HRD alone.
