Pros and cons of working at Mastercard Australia
Pros
I love all the opportunities for growth and development within MC. From early on in the graduate program, I have had exposure to high impact projects and can see and feel the difference that I make at work each day. I also love that we have such a social graduate program, with events organised regularly and plenty of networking opportunities with people from across the business.
Opportunities to work at forefront of payments technology and solve interesting problems; collaborative and respective working environment and culture with a strong focus on work/life balance and employee wellbeing; calibre of talent.
Ability to work on highly important value-add projects, clients and initiatives Senior leadership engagement day-to-day and involvement in broader initiatives Flexibility to rotate into different roles and work across teams
Good Culture, lots of team social and bonding opportunities, good personalities on the team
The innovative, fast-paced environment that encourages cross-divisional work and constant learning.
Cons
It was a tough learning curve at the start. Having never worked in the payments space, there was a lot of jargon and business processes that I didn't understand.
Being a larger, publicly listed organisation - we can be bogged down by bureaucracy and processes which are apparent to me having come from a start-up space previously.
The Melbourne office is relatively small when compared to Sydney and others, allowing for less network-building/work social scene.
Subject to global policies that don't always suit or consider the local situation; compensation is less competitive
The average age tends to be a little high so it can make organizing things like after-work drinks etc. more difficult than other places I have worked.
