I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Mastercard
Interview
The Interview is consisting of two rounds of technical questions asking about our projects and skills. If selected then we move to the HR round. But once again same as intern interview, no proper communication between the rounds. I had to wait for 3 hours in the meeting after completing my second round just to know that I'm rejected.
3 interviews, first recruiter, then direct manager for my function, and lastly with the country manager. The recruiter call seemed more like a get to know you than an interview.
first round hr screening second round with hiring manager. I liked both since it was transparent about the overall expectation of the role, the current company challenges, and also how team dynamics are
