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..

1. Salary compared to 2000’s paycheck, and as per HR it’s market standard 2. Like a big MNC which thinks india as a hub for less money will work 24*7 3. Won’t fire anyone but would make scenarios as such that the employee would eventually leave 4. No retain policy, as they think MasterCard is a brand anyone would die to replace you. ( 5-6 position have been closed in a year as no one joined as replacement this is the brand value) 5. Acquires small companies and then treat their employees as step employees

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.
