Pros

Very solid company in terms of financials and meeting Wall Street estimates. Global organization, so a good fit if you choose the right division within MC.

Cons

In San Carlos, I reported into Loyalty Solutions, which powers offers and solutions to banks and merchants. This division is EXTREMELY dysfunctional and according to some ex-colleagues (the few that remain), state that the new regime is even worse. MasterCard has the tendency to acquire companies and put those executives to manage the business, which continues to be a disaster. With HQ's in NY - you have 0 HR presence, no career trajectory, and a very disenchanting and awkward work environment.

Pros

Good salary compared to market average, good benefits, friendly, knowledgeable co workers.

Cons

Continous restructures make in near on impossible to progress, job level responsibilities are not consistent again making it unclear how to progress unless you completely move roles. The last 4 years have been flexible but now being forced into an office 3 days a week despite not working with anyone in the same location. End of year results and bonuses are not decided by direct line managers usually senior leadership that doesnt see how you perform day to day.

Pros

1. Global exposure, Teams are distributed so will get to know about the talents across world how they are handling the same issue in efficient way. 2. Certifications cost upto $5000 are paid by company. But the condition is you will have to pass. Specially helps when you are thinking of SANS certs. 3. Medical insurance is very good which covers vision and dental as well which you will hardly see in other companies. 4. If you are married, lot of perks to enjoy like paternity and maternity. For bachelors like me there is hardly. To enjoy, you will have to make kids. 5. NPS contribution is over and above CTC which you will hardly see in other companies. 6. Graduity and medical are companies benefit, it will not be your part of CTC. 7. Companies works on ethics and compliance which is really appreciating. 9. No shift work culture, Which is good. 8. If your women, Mastercard is for you. Mastercard gives good opportunity to ladies both in terms of selection and promotion.

Cons

1. Pay structure is very bad for entry level analyst. 2. Mastercard HR is very good at negotiating package on the name of Mastercard brand. Don't be victim. 3. Work pressure is very hectic. Work life balance is zero. You will have tension/frustrated even after completing your shift, which really sucks. 4. People with same skill or less are getting much more in other organization what Mastercard offers. 5. At the end of the day, what matters is Money that you get in your hand. Perks are ok but should not be primary criteria to choose any company. 6. If management guy reading this post, please Revise the salary structure to avoid loose talents.
