I applied in-person. I interviewed at Mastercard (O Fallon, MO) in Sep 2025
Interview
Two phase interview process. Phase 1: Standard leetcode style questions, with a hacker rank environment. 2 Questions 45 minutes with a bonus 3rd question. Encouraged communication and questions. Phase 2: A 30 minute behavioral round.
It was quick. 1 round. I failed, They asked SQL and ML questions. They asked me Python but I didnt know. Overall easy but they expect to know what their team does which is crazy
