Pros

The interview experience with Ekata has been exceptional. Rigorous process with genuine empathy and cordiality towards the candidate that were crucial factors in me deciding to join Ekata. You will appreciate the timely communication from the Talent team along every step of the process and that they have the candidate's best interests in mind. Strong product suite in the hands of very capable teams with ample scope to grow into newer verticals and markets.

Cons

Not a negative - Ekata is integrating rapidly with Mastercard which acquired the former over a year ago; minor issues with getting systems up to speed but the onboarding teams are very helpful.

Great work life balance. Solid startup culture. Minimal micro management. Good compensation and career trajectory.

Cons

Tends not to be a very “sexy” industry, but boring pays the bills.

Pros

Ekata fosters a strong, collaborative community with great colleagues and competitive benefits, including a 401K match, 21 PTO days, Anthem healthcare, and a stock purchase discount program.

Cons

Following Ekata's acquisition by Mastercard, employees have reported increased burnout due to a prolonged hiring freeze, outdated financial systems, poor cross-department communication, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and slow decision-making have hindered both operations and customer experience.
