Clause in the Mastercard offer
Received an offer from Mastercard for a Senior Software engineer position. The offer letter mentions that the first 6 months will be an "observation period". I'm scared to accept the offer due to this. Can someone from Mastercard tell if this is a red flag? Or is this common in the offers from Mastercard? #tech #mastercard #offer
Same in qc offer o got 2 years back
6 month probation period is common. You should be fine as long as you do your best.
Lot of companies have that. It’s fine don’t worry too much about it
Isn’t this pretty common? It’s a probation period.
Tell them you will join after 6 months
Assuming you are in the US, I wonder why they need that since most employment is "at will" anyway. Unless it limits you access to benefits of some sort....
It does not limit you to anything
This is no big deal. It applies to everyone and doesn’t matter if your entry level or an exec. It just means if you suck really badly, they can release you in the first six months.
What if you just kind-of suck?
How’s the comp and wlb at Mastercard?
Yoe? Location ?
TC ?
Red flag - you’re first on the chopping block in layoff
