      MasterCard is a good place to work

      Pros

      Most people who work at MasterCard are very technically competent. It is a good place to work in a sense that there are lots of technical professionals who co-operate and contribute to the success of various challenging projects.

      Cons

      System development in MasterCard can be very political. Management can be indifferent to the employee's needs and concerns. Very often, projects are done based on political reasons rather than technical reason. Many times, management gives support to a program only to find out that it does not bear any results. Then projects get cancelled in the middle of implementation.

      Pros

      MasterCard was a great place to intern. We had a small intern group spread across many different areas of the company, but our departments and HR made sure we felt welcome and integrated into the organization. They have really thought through their internship program and had weekly educational sessions focusing on resume writing, knowledge about the bank, personal strengths, etc. We even visited the floor of the NYSE! The hours were great, the work was not overwhelming and was appropriate for my level of work experience at the time, and my coworkers were infinately helpful. Overall, the atmosphere and people were just perfect for me.

      Cons

      It was a sophmore internship, so it is not like other financial internships where you can expect a fulltime offer after the internship. Really, other than that, I can't think of one negative thing.

      Pros

      Market position and industry outlook is great. Overall compensation package is designed to encourage long-term commitment. Brand is phenomenal around the globe. Upside market opportunity in the payments space is enviable. Company's financial strength and scalability is admirable.

      Cons

      MasterCard hires for job experience in industry, specifically banking. So you have alot of people who come to the table with fairly large egos and limited creativity. Large level of political drama to deal with. The company moves very slow - not responsive to clients, missed deadlines are common practice, 9:30 to 5:00 sharp are standard hours so if you're an eager eddie you'll be disappointed. Basic management discipline is missing. You will also be frustrated by the highest level of bureaucracy covering the company's use of data and information. It is an obsession that prevents us from getting things done and having an impact with clients.
