Great People Held Back by Poor Leadership Decisions - Program Manager Mastercard Foundation Employee Review

Pros

Great benefits, supportive work culture, and amazing coworkers who make the environment enjoyable and collaborative. The role also provided valuable international travel opportunities and exposure to global teams.

Cons

The organization has shifted toward a more rigid and heavily monitored work culture, including mandatory three-day in-office policies despite limited desk availability in the new office. Leadership decisions increasingly feel disconnected from employee experience and operational realities. Over the years, there has also been a noticeable decline in hiring quality and internal culture, with a growing dependency on external consultants over investing in and developing internal talent, which has negatively impacted morale and the foundation’s collaborative culture.
