Mastercard reviews

The company is very top heavy with too many people in middle management who really aren't working. This promotes a country club like atmosphere. There is a huge gap between the senior management team and the people who actually get the work done. It's the business leaders that do all the work without reward or recognition. If you want the easiest job in your life and get paid a lot for doing nothing go for a middle management position at MasterCard.

I have been with this company for years. This company changed from the best place to work at to the worse place within last 10 years, especially withing last 3 years. Facts about working environment: 1. "Clear desk policy" You supposed to lock all of your papers in drawers before you leave. If you leave something on the table that you get warning, after 3 warnings your are fired 2. Health insurance is very expensive with very low coverage and huge deductible that you need to pay before anything will be covered. Company covers only 50% of price vs 70-80% as other companies do. 3. There is no free coffee/tea stations in main building. If you need a drink you had to buy from the stations that sell drinks. 4. Cafeteria is very expensive and you can only use MasterCard to purchase anything, no cash or other cards accepted. Guests or interviewed people who come for the entire day often are unable to eat. 5. Business attire policy. If you want to wear jeans on Fridays, than you have to pay $40 for a month ( 4 -5 Fridays). 6. Company no more has any holiday’s parties, including Christmas because it is expensive. 7. All printers said on double side printing in b/w. Its very annoying to change setting each time toy need to have one side printing. 8. Everybody needs to work in the office regardless of weather conditions. HR send out a letter saying that if you want to stay at work while bad snowfall that you have to take a day off. 9. You cannot buy any expansive office supplies or working tools because everything should be cheap. If you really need something, you should buy it yourself. 10. There is a company gym facilities, you have to pay $25 a month. 11. Lost badge- $25 11. Everybody works on old heavy Dell computers. 12. There are very strict subordination policies in terms of what you can do and cannot depending on your level Recently MC moved all US employees in a different building across the street. Half of the floor is now occupied while another half is under heavy construction. People who sit next to construction should every day smell dust, chemicals and work while hearing drilling, sawing and screwing. People complained about working conditions, health issuers and destructive noise. No HR or higher management tried to resolve the issue. None of the top managers sit next to construction at this moment.
