I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Mastercard (Sydney) in Nov 2020
Interview
Competency based interviews which seemed very old fashioned way to interview and does not support a natural conversation . Applied for the role around 5 mths prior and then called out of the blue for an interview . Disappointing process for such a major brand.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time blah blah that you built and leveraged relationships blah blah
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 (Amsterdam) 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.
