Mastercard Australia Reviews

Promotion possibilities are clearly outlined by management. There are online resources detailing the skills and goals one should strive for in order to move up the ranks.

There are dedicated action plans that emphasize Mastercard's commitment to CSR. Each team has different initiatives focused on sustainability and CSR.

Mastercard has an amazing company culture! Projects are very collaborative as they involve many different teams. During work, there are lots of events run by different business groups focusing on health, learning and development, and inclusivity. After work, there are also many activities for everyone to get involved, from social sports, volunteering or social events such as drinks and trivia.

MC has employee-led business resources groups to assist in fostering an inclusive workplace. I find the company very inclusive and fair. I know there is gender pay parity (women and men earn the same $ for the same role). I would also say the business resource groups do great work in engaging and fostering inclusion for people from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds. Girls4Tech is another good example.

My role involves working with clients to develop card products that suit their market and customers’ needs and expectations. In a typical day, I will attend client meetings or workshops and work with cross-functional teams to create deliverables such as product strategies, roadmaps, market analysis, or implementation plans.

Managers communicate well with the team especially on overarching strategies and roles and responsibilities. Performance feedback and career progression discussions occur regularly.

The company has its own office building with great views and collaborative spaces. The dress code is smart casual but is very flexible. There's end of the line facilities, coffee machines and a ping pong / pool table

The interview process was smooth and simple. A screening call followed by a short psychometric assessment, followed by two rounds of interviews with my current manager and the director in our team.

The salary, when compared to other graduate roles in the same position/industry, is comparable. Great health insurance (already had two remedial massages!), work from elsewhere policy, great merch, travel insurance, in office yoga classes, fruit box on Tuesdays, great coffee machine (with soy!), always free food/snacks around etc.

There is a combination of informal and formal training sessions. I've picked up most of the skills I need by working on actual projects as opposed to formal training sessions, however the formal training helps provide great overviews for larger teams.

The work hours are very flexible. Typically work an 8-hour day but this is flexible during the day as my team has meetings in the evenings or early morning. Work from home two to three times a week.
