Pros

Great benefits except for medical. Great opportunities here for anyone that DOES NOT work in technology. Also great for people from India or women. Very Very bad place to be for male Caucasian men who are treated differently with less opportunities. You don’t want to work here if you are very technical.

Cons

Marketing company that continues to market themselves as a technology company but is very far from it. Technical workers are treated like dogs and burned and churned. Task masters rule with no technical backgrounds. They focus on importing labor on H1bs into America vs hiring citizens and labor will work night and day to not be sent back to India. Other roles are fine there if you are from the CEO’s country of origin. Very poor quality software and products.

Pros

Good CEO vision, corporate strategy, and business model. Mastercard has a competitive product strategy to win the market share globally. They offer very nice benefits. CEO has outlined good cultural values on paper and genuinely expects everyone to live by them. In summary, a good place to work outside Technology department.

Cons

Technology organization is all about EVPs driving their own agenda and promoting people based on affinity and punishing those that challenge them with decency. Her way/his way mentality results in picking people and strategies to just exercise power. Some Executives are living in their comfort zone for a long time creating risks to the core areas of the company with poor technical oversight. New leaders are busy copying other tech companies creating more silos. It's not uncommon where Executives use performance management as a tool for employee retaliation. President has a good vision but mostly surrounded by poor leadership team resulting in slow technology advancements.
