      Finance needs Transformation

      Vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very generous compensation package which is difficult to match. Top paying employer across all functions in STL market. Same for paid time off (sick, parental, vacation) - very generous and generally flexible. RTO of 3 days is still mild compared to other employers

      Cons

      Politics out of control. Favoritism and hitting budgets reign supreme. Hubs and regions completely siloed from Corporate. Shared services center has lost multiple female leaders in past 12-18 mos. and completely overworks the teams with inadequate resources and tools.

      Used to be a good job security but not anymore. If you are a female or/and not Indian, I would not work here.

      Cons

      Due to ongoing layoffs, employee morale has significantly declined, creating a toxic work environment

      Mastercard Killed My Engineering Career

      Senior engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - brand name. that's about it.

      Cons

      - too much bureaucracy - outdated/mundane bizops processes - learning is not good. everything is outdated so time is spent more on maintaining broken processes than adding real new features and touching new tech - promotions suck as an engineer. your success is tied to the team your on and the opporunities you are given. - too many (old) apps. too many stakeholders. learning curve is too deep to ramp up. moreover, leadership is constantly reorg. teams so the learning resets. - Nobody really knows why we have these dumb processes in place. endless confluence docs. - haven't learned anything in 3 years. - nobody really wants to be here. not a great place to grow your career.
