Pros

Good pay, bonus scheme and benefits

Cons

I work in an area of the business that was purchased by Mastercard 5 years ago and a lot of the "old guard" still think they're in a start up and not part of a larger company, who have structures in place, it's a very frustrating part of the business to work in.

Pros

Good pay, good employee policies. Great company.

Cons

Lead and Managers are at same level. so if Manager promotes SSE he becomes lead, now they both come at same level. so Manager does not promote their own reportee. similarly Director and Principal are at same level so director does not promote leads to become principle or director. Management suffering because of insecurities. There is no transparency how exactly promotion happens.
