Mastercard reviews

Disorganised. The term 'Agile' is thrown about but is seems to mean everyone working in completely undefined roles and working in a completely unstructured way. Expect to work on things that you weren't hired for - e.g., you might be hired as an app developer and then be expected to do DevOps or QA work as there is nobody serving that function. Meetings can go on for hours and sometimes involve the most senior people in the room shouting at each other. It markets itself as a software company but is far from it in reality.

Excessive red tape. The biggest issue I had during my tenure was trusting management and HR. From my hire date, all the way through my exit from MasterCard, everyone complained about being promised x and getting y & z. Many disgruntled ex-colleagues and a few still remain at MasterCard, as they believe one day this culture will eventually change. The biggest problem with loyalty solutions is that they lack leadership and the key executives have limited or no knowledge leading their respective teams, which explains the revenue issues and huge turnover.
