Mastercard Employee Reviews & Ratings

Depends on what your manager is like

No cons as of now

Repetitive/Boring Work and low salary increments

Lack some benefits like cab services.

Too much of old technology used

Slow processes and a lot of redundant roles

eh sometimes its lacking vibes

Some internal HR processes have significant room for improvement.

Unpredictable shift scheduling if you're a casual

At times can be very slow, with little work assigned to you. The work itself isn't always that motivating.

Promotions are hard and decision making can be cumbersome given that it is a matrixed organization

most of the sr people are not qualified

i like it very much

Hiring done mostly from pune

I can only say good things

When I joined more than 10 years ago, Mastercard was working hard to improve its culture, specifically from a perceived threat of retaliation by managers. Ajay Banga therefore expertly implemented a culture of decency which helped to address the problem. Since his departure, I witnessed warning signs that some poor culture is getting the room to creep back in and specifically that some managers from newly acquired businesses are exacerbating the issue by failing / not caring to observe the Mastercard Way which ultimately made it a less pleasant place to work.

- Travel depends on the team requirement - Tough to match time with other locations if you are in PST

Few programs don't have team on US , so odd hours support is based in India.

Growth opportunities can be improved further in terms of projects

Financial compensation (salaries) below market average, comparing to other consulting firms

- Layoffs without any proper reason. You will be charged for bad decision of Product Manager/VP/Director. - Toxic/Unhealthy work environment - Politics - Your Technical Manager is NOT technical (Beware) - Micro-management - Expecting to wear multiple hats with no recognition - Unhealthy leadership dynamics - No work life balance. - Long hours because of VP/Directors are in USA time zone. - IJP is myth - Join Mastercard on your own risk. I left the company without any job offer for my mental health.

DQ (Decency Quota) seems to be on the way down in recent times and I am starting to feel more like a number than a person! Many of the processes are overly bureaucratic with people seeing it as their job to stop you doing the wrong thing rather than actually helping you to do the right thing.

Lots of micromanagement, difficult to discuss with HR always keen to help the company not the employee and to be on the manager side.

Difficult to get promoted here

As this is a product base company too much of work load

Lower growth more bea ureocratic

Pretense of less work than there actually is.

As a large corporation, decision-making can be slow, and processes may be rigid—especially compared to startups or smaller tech firms.

No cons as such , ,. , ,

If you are a people leader your ability to do logical and right thing for the business (and often teams) would be sabotaged by mindless P&C (HR) subjectivity. Often is hard to distinguish if P&C is Finance, Security, IT, Law - what ? Anything but “People” in the phrase that stands as People & Capability

Too much work , very low paid

hard work to be done

Compensation is not very transparent

Some organizations lack vision, typically where they keep the lights on only vs. strive for improvement

- Company is undergoing transformation and it is turbulent - Non-sales functions are overlooked

No freebies and employee benefits.

Slow product development, Too many priorities to work on.

prioritization of workload can be challenging

Lack of transparency in promotion processes. Work is slowed by legacy systems, internal politics, and the personal egos of the loudest voices.

Too many layers, lack of clarity on the job roles

The Brisbane software and its developers were bought by Mastercard, and a great deal of pressure was being placed on Brisbane moving its payments gateway technology and development methodology to match wider Mastercard standards. This caused a bunch of friction.

Very slow growth overall and career wise

Rigid structure, too much politics

No opportunity to travel abroad

None at this point in time

Can't think of anything yet!

If you are not working on a GTM (go-to-market) product you may end up working with a very outdated tech stack

That is good product best company

Some employee are at a high position but lacking needed skills or expertise

Old technology Old product management methods
