Mastercard interview questions

Read all for my interesting experience. 1. Recruiter called to say technical screen would be scheduled. She talked about one interviewer, but two 45-minute technical screens were scheduled. The original interviewer did not recognize the name of the second interviewer (so not sure why 2nd was relevant to the process). 2. The job description did not mention Agile or program methodologies/tools. Recruiter said hiring manager was looking for strong soft skills. The second interviewer mentioned above was an Agile screener - looking for program experience dealing with Agile, Scrum, tech stack, tech architecture and SW development. Talked to an actual MC employee who said groups in MC have varying degrees of Agile maturity. 3. Original interviewer (who was moving to another role) gave a full description of the job. The "program manager" scope in the JD was about 15% of the role. The rest had to do with operational, day to day activities that are typically not part of a program manager's scope. 4. Additional interviewer had about 20 minutes for questions. After the first question, interviewer cut off by saying I was a mismatch for the role and ended the interview. Felt very disrespected and surprised I wasn't given the full time for questions. Now, this interviewer was the second added interviewer above - who was NOT the hiring manager, was screening for Agile (not indicated in JD), and who was unknown to the original interviewer.
