Pros

Mastercard is, from a business perspective, moving incredibly well - and has many different business areas where you can dive in. It outperforms its peers in the F500 from a work and culture perspective -- but it's still a large company that has the challenges of a large workforce.

Cons

With the above in mind: despite it's intentions and potential future trajectory, it lags other tech competition in terms of work opportunities. In particular, it's saddled by more politically driven operators and pockets of the organization that are less talented. Senior Management is strong - while mid-level management is far weaker.

Pros

Mastercard encourages generalized skills and a flexible career path. It's easy to move horizontally within Mastercard to find the right fit. I cycled between product and engineer multiple times while staying with the same product that I had expertise in. Mastercard has an affirming employee culture. Among the rank and file there are few abrasive personalities and everyone is generally supportive of each other.

Cons

Mastercard Digital tends to assign so many people to overlapping roles that responsibility and accountability is completely removed for all but the most senior management. The way that both product and technology are structured, few groups are empowered to own and execute the success of the product end to end.

Pros

Very diverse, company does honestly care about ethics

Cons

Impossibly opaque structure and bureaucracy, knowing WHO to talk to is infinitely more pressing then what you actually have to add to a conversation.
