MasterCard Project & Program Management Department Salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

The worst place I worked in my past 10 plus years of work life. Mastercard is a political firm than a corporate office. If anyone getting any offer, just try to understand the team and members before stepping into the team or ask any colleagues who are working at MC. Very old applications. Improvements are there but lots of issues clients will hate or disturbed while working with MC multiple applications.

Dislikes

Nothing more to like at MC than a brand name. Always remember brand is nothing whoever is giving better package and better work life balance stay with them for long.

brand name; good salary- pays well above market (that locks in employees basically); job security; exceptional parental leave policy (both maternal and paternal); best in class health insurance (have not seen this anywhere); 20 days work from anywhere policy (can work from anywhere in the world); generally empathetic culture where people acknowledge you have a life and family and allow exceptions without the guilt trip

Dislikes

very little opportunity to create impact at scale as this company is a behemoth- policy, culture, systems- everything contributes to the general lethargy; products dont have great India market fit as Indian market has changed rapidly before Mastercard caught up (possibly cannot catch up)- this demotivates team a lot

Likes

They offer best compensation in industry

Dislikes

Politically driven BFC in Gurgaon where couple of directors are driving a culture of favouritism and who would like to throw team members under the bus rather than owing to their own mistakes.

Likes

There is job security and perks are better than most other companies in the same sector.

Dislikes

However, compared to It's direct competitors it's compensation is low.. No work from home is allowed for long term and this lack of flexibility is a serious disadvantage..
