Every team has issues. There's so much animosity in this org and Mastercard can't/won't identify and remove these people or correct the problems/address concerns.
- Uninspired, disconnected workforce (junior/mid-level slackers, high-ego leaders that don't realize their direct reports stink)
- Bureaucracy (nothing gets done quickly here)
- Conservative business practices (poor hiring/slow firing, pitful budget for regular employee events, etc.)
Stay away if you...
- Get frustrated working somewhere with a lot of duds. 75% of the people I worked with were unmotivated (all talk, no work), 20% were fine, and 5% were go-getters.
- Feel unsure how much you like/care about payments. It's very boring unless you are a self-identifying payments nerd.
- Expect your company to facilitate bonding with coworkers. Despite billions in revenue, they don't throw regular office gatherings. Mastercard is very stingy.
- Avoid global teams if you don't want calls at crazy hours
- Hate networking internally
