MasterCard Pune centre is being run like a local banya shop

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

MasterCard name brand is good, and the attractive part is that it's a fortune company.

Cons

Pune centre doesn't have any visibility and managers are trying to impose their own rules and regulations they never mind in saying " I don't care what MasterCard best practices are I want things to be done this way" so it's like a local banya shop where every shop has its own rules. Second managers are getting their Family and relatives hired into the organisation by keeping the MasterCard Rules at stake, if not getting them as permanent than tricking them to get hired as CW because of this they are firing otbech because of this we employees to get their family and relatives settle in to MasterCard. If you do a skip level your manager will not leave any option to scrutinise you.

A young, fun company

Software engineering

Business Outlook

Pros

In general: The work is interesting, the company is a business oriented software company (with the relaxed culture of a software company), and the people are young. Something like 75% employees (obviously this is just me estimating) are less than 5 years out of college. It means that there's a great culture about the place. You're guaranteed to know the CEO on a first name basis. As a Software Engineer: it's an amazing place to have a group of expert users, the business consultants who you know and hang out with, around to provide feedback. It's also easy to make a noticeable impact on the product. No matter your experience, you will be writing features that are used by clients all the time. The software development process is incredibly flexible and you can work in a way that suits you the best. It's also a great place for learning because you can get your hands on the entire stack all the time.

Cons

The hours are not short. It's not like the incredible workload of a new start-up or finance industry, but it's certainly not a 9-5. From a software perspective, it's not quite the same as working at a start up where the entire business hinges on your decisions. That's not necessarily a bad thing though as it frees you from some of the pressure/stress associated with that.
