Pros

- Very generous benefits package - Half-day Fridays and quarterly no meeting days - Work anywhere 4 weeks a year - Broad range of development opportunities and skill development

Cons

-Underlying misogyny throughout business, making it a challenging place for women to succeed; few women in higher positions (and almost no POC) - Cultural identity crisis - mishmash of cultures from acquisitions - Career advancement highly politicized, not transparent how promotions occur (although you have a better chance if you’re a white male!)

Pros

Mastercard is an excellent place to work. Very innovative and compensation is outstanding.

Cons

The executive leader in the BizOps area is super sharp, however there is a HUGE flaw. This leader likes to surround herself with 'yes' people and does not like to be challenged. Her direct reports often are afraid to push back and as a result, the teams working hard each and every day suffer from a lack of support. This is not targeted at every leader in this space, just the EVP and a couple of her directs in particular. There is an old school culture in this area and it requires some house cleaning at the top.
