I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mastercard
Interview
Great conversation with the recruiter. Next round was with the hiring manager. Interview went well, was told I'd hear next steps in a week. I didn't hear anything back for about 4 weeks, but HR was responsive when asked for updates, assuring me they would have one soon. Kept another opportunity on hold because of this and was eventually ghosted. Only saw the rejection in the portal (no rejection email and HR stopped replying to my polite follow-ups) after logging in.
Great initial experience, but frustrating to be ghosted after initial experience was positive. Wish feedback was more common.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
background, familiarity with products, why I was interested, why MC
It was a reasonable interview, will not call it difficult.. the discussion was more around cultural fitment, global mobility and ability to adapt to a large matrix organization. Lot of stress was placed on communication skills vs technical skills
1 HR screening call and 3 rounds of interview with hiring manager and peers. The question was straightforwards and to the business. No much related to AI. Overall it was a good experience
I applied through other source. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Mastercard (Ámsterdam) in Jul 2025
