I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Mastercard (Ciudad de Quebec, QC) in Jun 2018
Interview
Very unprofessional.
HR contacted me via email to setup a telephonic interview. After the interview a different HR manager contacted to setup another telephonic interview with the hiring manager/team manager.
Manager was late for interview, so I had to ask HR to call him.
The first thing manager told me was that we won't sponsor your work permit. I was shocked as all this was discussed during the 1st round. Went ahead with the interview anyway. He didn't let me ask questions and told me he has to go as he has other people to interview.
It's been 2 months since and still don't have an update from them. My status is still set to 'interview' on their website. Even very small companies are far more professional.

Question 1
About yourself
Product knowledge and experience
Basic questions about technology and how to implement on a worldwide scale.
Very unprofessional recruitment process. For the senior position of Director in Pune, company employed junior recruiters, who didn't even know the recruiting panel properly and their availability. After the telephone screening process, rescheduled the interview call 4 times and that too interviewer didn't join for 4th planned schedule. Very bad work culture.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard (Londres, Inglaterra) in Feb 2018
Interview
Met with the Hiring Manager and her two dotted line supervisors. Basically went over the job descriptions and then had to explain how my experience and background would lend to the role. I found that it was up to me to ask a lot of questions with regards to the business and role. I found this quite helpful as it allowed me to truly understand whether this business would be the right fit for me.
The interviewers were all quite personable and were interested in understanding how I am as a person and my work style. Having felt at ease with the individuals I spoke with gave me confidence to speak with candor and discuss aspects of the role and business I wouldn't necessarily have brought up otherwise.

Part of the role would require you to decline requests and say no to objectives on projects. How would you address various key stakeholders , knowing that you were going to say no to their proposed plan of action?
