I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mastercard in Nov 2025
Interview
Had a back-to-back interview with a 60 minute technical interview, followed by a 30 minute behavioral interview. Both were pretty chill. For the technical, I had the hangman problem other people mentioned but not your typical leetcode like problem. Behavioral was a lot of "tell me about a situation..." questions.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Mastercard (Saint Louis, MO) in Nov 2025
Interview
Pretty simple, no OA just Technical and Behavioral. Interviews were kind and helpful which was definitely something to appreciate. Technical was a interval problem, maybe a LC easy-medium broken down into parts.
