I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard (Washington, DC) in Oct 2020
Interview
Two (virtual) interviews, both having behavioral and case parts. Fairly straightforward/easy cases. Interviewers were nice despite some technical difficulties on my end. Switched over to phone interview. Need US work authorization and not flexible about transferring interview to overseas office recruiter. Had to begin the whole process anew, even though I had secured an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Simple profitability cases; various industries. Some behavioral questions about leadership, experience, etc.
1st round was Telephonic round with HR. It was not a scheduled one, HR called me as per their convenience and starting taking HR round. They asked general questions about my current role.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard in Apr 2026
Interview
Super quick and easy. Took 1-2 weeks, and got an offer a week after final interview. 4 total rounds, one with recruiter, one with hiring manager, one with analyst on team, and one with executive vp, all behavioral.
Tough but fun and i had to do some online test and it was quite cool and the interviewers were very friendly, and I loved the interview process, and I had lots of fun, and it was chill and such.
