I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard (Londen, Engeland) in Feb 2018
Interview
Met with the Hiring Manager and her two dotted line supervisors. Basically went over the job descriptions and then had to explain how my experience and background would lend to the role. I found that it was up to me to ask a lot of questions with regards to the business and role. I found this quite helpful as it allowed me to truly understand whether this business would be the right fit for me.
The interviewers were all quite personable and were interested in understanding how I am as a person and my work style. Having felt at ease with the individuals I spoke with gave me confidence to speak with candor and discuss aspects of the role and business I wouldn't necessarily have brought up otherwise.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Part of the role would require you to decline requests and say no to objectives on projects. How would you address various key stakeholders , knowing that you were going to say no to their proposed plan of action?
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
