Pros

Benefits are great. Salary levels are fair. Been at Masercard close to 5 years now. This company used to be great to work for, but has slowly changed its working environment and culture for the worse.

Cons

Constant changes in process without really understanding whether the change drives efficiency. Management used to lead with a clear vision, value employees and an foster a pleasant, productive environment. It feels like all new leadership hired for the last 1-2 years is well-focused, but has a leadership approach that comes across as very dictatorial, lead by fear way, and for the most part extremely inefficient. Employees are squeezed year by year with more and more demands. This used to be a company that prides itself on work-life balance. Surely 3-6 years ago, it provided its employees with that great balance, but my work-life balance has slowly but surely diminished over the last 1-2 years. I spend more and more hours in the office lately working on demands that are non-constructive. Over the last year, I've had to give up my gym time, time with my family and even work during my paid time off. What happened, Mastercard? Where did your values go???

Pros

APT pays its employees very well.

Cons

Long hours, the company is less flexible with remote work and travel than it pretends to be. As a business consultant you are told you'll be solving complex business problems when really you're a glorified software help desk.

Pros

Nothing good any longer here

Cons

Long Term Incentive is a trap that many fall for. You will never get any stocks because they will eliminate your job before those are vested. One of my previous manager was a workaholic who earned good chunk, but they moved his position to Pune. Management that is managing Pune does lot of favors to their friends and family in Pune.
