I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Mastercard (Kuala Lumpur) in Jan 2022
Interview
3 key steps
1. Automated interview with HireVue or a similar platform
2. 1 on 1 interviews (2 rounds) - This was done with managers and senior managers. Both of whom I found quite pleasant to talk to and offered ample support throughout the case.
3. Fit interview - This round was with a partner and consisted mostly of behavioral questions. However, it may include a brief case.
Overall, I found the interviewers to be quite pleasant. Whatever changes HR made to the recruiting team worked because my interviewers were unlike the others described in previous reviews.
I found the process quite lengthy though. I applied and then waited for ~2 month for a reply. This was because they waited 2 months to close the opening and start vetting candidates. Then maybe another month for my first interview, before which I attended numerous webinars about the job, interview process, etc. But after that, it was smooth sailing.
I would definitely advocate for a more expedited process.
