I interviewed at Mastercard (Arlington, VA) in Mar 2017
Interview
Had 45 minute phone interviews (20 minutes of behavioral questions, then 25 minutes for technical/case questions) before receiving an on-site invitation. Once there, I had four 45-minute interviews that pretty much followed the same format. Topics ranged from testing popular websites to specific product features to statistical tools. Received helpful feedback on things I could improve on, and usually heard within a day or two whether not I would move on to the next round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General theme - if you want to test a feature/tool, what kind of datasets/inputs would you run through the system, and what would you expect to see?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Mastercard (Arlington, VA) in Feb 2017
Interview
I applied for the position over both the APT website and my campus careers homepage. I received an invitation for a preliminary interview on campus the next day. The 45 minute interview consisted of 10 minutes of resume-based questions, a 30 minute technical question (evaluating the functionality of a website), and a brief Q&A session with the interviewer. The next day, I received an invitation for an on-site interview. The on-site interview process was similar to the preliminary interview - only there were four 45-minute interviews in one day with a break for an informal lunch with employees. The technical questions ranged from website evaluation to market sizing, and were fair, but challenging. Within two days, I received a call saying I wouldn't get an offer. Ultimately a disappointing result, but the APT employees were very friendly throughout, and the entire interview process was very organized and streamlined. Definitely the quickest interview process I have been a part of.
