Pros

Great place for those just want to be at work 9 to 5 to get great benefits. Best in class with number of vacation days, 401K ETC.

Cons

Servitude is expected and loyalty to the manager and not the company.

Pros

The company has a very collaborative work culture Mastercard employees work at the leading edge of payments innovation

Cons

The collaborative culture often results in slow decision making, Internal processes typically require inputs form multiple people and often it isn't clear who is accountable for making things happen. Although Mastercard is embracing new payment technologies, the bulk of the business is dependent on a legacy model that is under fire from multiple sources. Core credit card payments are likely to dwindle as a percentage of payments over time, and it isn't clear that Mastercard (or Visa, Amex, Diners Club etc.) is going to be able to pivot quickly enough to maintain their market dominance.
