I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Mastercard (Kuala Lumpur) in Feb 2025
Interview
Long drawn process, very slow. Took 2.5 months to get to the case study round. It seemed that their preference was to hire consultants rather than folks with industry experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First round - Focused experience and background. Trends in the industry
Second round - Understanding fit for the company and personality.
Third round - Case study for role applied for, prepare a proposal for a potential partner on why they should work with Mastercard Data Services.
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
Interview
Meerder gespreksronden, (3 stuks) met soms een ruime week voordat je iets van feedback kreeg. Je moet ze continue chasen voordat je iets hoort Geen duidelijkheid over de tijdslijnen en hoeveel rondes er gingen plaatsvinden.
