Likes

I am working since 7yrs in Mastercard The company policies, work culture are good. You can easily do internal job change and career movement. Overa it's good experience.

Dislikes

Salary hike is not enough as compared with other companies.

Likes

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..
