      Pros

      Very good work life balance. Also, manaement practices, knowledge sharing and career advancement are dependant upon the area in which you are employed, as there is not a consistant benchmark that is enforced throughout the organization.

      Cons

      The lack of consistancy as described avbove, also the lack of support by HR in dealing with managers that create issues as a result of their lack of competency.

      MasterCard not so bad

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      MasterCard has really good benefits and a bonus and profit sharing program that works well. For the most part people are positive, friendly and helpful. The company also focuses quite a bit on professional development of the staff by requiring development courses be a part of each persons performance review process. They also conduct free seminars and invite subject matter experts to speak on common topics of interest such as personal finance. There are opportunities to grow at Mastercard but as with any company you have to make an effort to market your personal brand so that you can be noticed by senior management.

      Cons

      Often there is too much red tape involved in executing good ideas. As a public company the focus is now on the bottom line and less on people.

      MasterCard's Hiring and Promotion Practices

      Group head
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      MasterCard is truly a global company and their bottom line benefits from a growing consumer preference to use plastic versus checks and cash to pay for goods and services.

      Cons

      MasterCard during and post IPO has taken a 180 on performance based promotions and explicitly sanctions reverse discrimination policies. The HR department is extremely corrupt and employs bully tactics to achieve their politically motivated objectives.
