Pros

Mastercard always value's your time and life outside of work. Never had an issue with taking time off for vacation/day appointments. Benefits are fantastic, and management has always treated me with respect, empathized when projects succeed or fail.

Cons

Mastercard's tech and engineering culture can be exhausting. Expect multi-year efforts for trivial engineering problems. Mastercard has a tendency to over-complicate, over-engineer solutions. It's a very process-driven company, not engineering driven. New technology, practices, or languages seldom gain traction.

Pros

benefits are really amazing. Pay is pretty great and usually annual bonuses. This company is a great company to work for they take care of their people. job security is fantastic, and they encourage career development

Cons

Jargon is a real issue, they use so many acronyms, many of them internal, It make following conversations and meetings difficult at times. They have some old processes that can be very convoluted and difficult to follow. They are large, it can be difficult to find the right person or team to get answers. this at times leads to very different answers and slow movement on projects.
