I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Mastercard (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Nov 2023
Interview
You are most likely to get an interview if its via a reference. Applying via the website will almost never get you a call or shortlist.. even if you are ideal.
The interview process was great initially. I met my reporting manager face to face in their gurgaon office. discussion was on my prior roles and past work with MC as a client/partner. the follow up interview was scheduled but got rescheduled and never happened. They then opened the same position but for a diff location and kept doing this for a few months and at the end no news.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General question realted to MC, how my past/present role relates to this one and the value I'll bring to it, if selected.
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
