Pros

Great People - wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, very approachable Work/Life Balance - Plenty of paid time off, ability to take community service days Company is Small - Greater responsibilities up front, wide scope Industry Impact - MasterCard doesn't just work in an industry; it is part of a few that control it. The industry is constantly changing, though, so constant learning is available. Variety of Work - Not just within a role, there are a very wide variety of roles in the company, allowing employees to transfer laterally. Campus - Purchase is a beautiful area, and the HQ campus is no exception. Reputation and Brand - Working for a globally renowned brand? Priceless.

Cons

Culture is Still Changing - Some people still act in silos, sometimes making work redundant or difficult. Still, have pool table, ping pong table, etc. Company is Small - Sometimes there is lack of clear responsibility division. Slow to Action - For a such a relatively small company, MasterCard seems to be slow to adapt to the changing payments landscaping.
