Hear from our employees

Before starting, Mastercard paired me with a buddy who would answer all my questions from the differences between front-end and back-end development to what office dress code is.

Mastercard also set up multiple sessions that walked new hires through benefits and different insurance and retirement plans. As a recent graduate, I found these sessions super helpful.

Manager, Product Delivery

As I start my career, I appreciate the incredible opportunity to learn consulting from best-in-class payments and technology experts.

I can easily seek out industry-leading advice from internal experts and feel supported in my project work.

— Angel Y.
Associate Managing Consultant

Our internal educational platform offers plenty of resources, spanning from personal development to deep dive training on Mastercard's product and services. I have also enrolled in a year-long data literacy course as part of Mastercard's partnership with Multiverse, a professional apprenticeship program. This has provided a great opportunity to build knowledge in data analytics tools and obtain a Level-3 Data Technician certificate.

- Adam C.
Manager, Product Development

One of the main reasons I wanted to work in consulting was so that I could help make a direct and observable impact on a company in the mid- to short-term future. I can confidently say that the projects I have worked on have either resulted in a critical decision being made, or have generated tangible results for my clients.
