Mastercard

Customer Compliance and Fraud Intern

June - August 2018 • Purchase, NY

What I liked

This summer , I really enjoyed interning at Mastercard because the work I was doing was very interesting. I was responsible for investigating different merchants to determine if there was any illegal activity present that would negatively impact Mastercard's brand image.

What I wish was different

A week into my internship, I found out my hiring manager had resigned and was moving on to another company. This was definitely a struggle I had to overcome with the team I was working with. Though it was an unfortunate situation I wish had been different, it taught me how to manage challenging situations.

Advice

My internship was great not only because of the work I was doing, but also the people I was meeting. I would advise connecting with employees throughout the company to learn more about the company and also to ask questions about potential careers.

Associate Consultant Intern

June - July 2020 • Arlington County, VA

What I liked

Despite the internship being shortened and remote, I still had a great time having hands-on experience with client-facing consulting projects. The mentorship and support I received during the virtual internship is incredible and beyond expectation, and I can feel that everyone at the firm is trying to make the interns feel welcomed.

What I wish was different

I wish the experience had been in person, but given the situation of the pandemic, it really wasn't possible at the time of the internship.

Advice

I would suggest that anyone who have the opportunity to intern with the firm to take advantage of the opportunity, to not feel shy about reaching out to people and sharing your thoughts. The internship opportunity is truly the way for both you and your employer to understand if you are the right fit for the firm.
