I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Mastercard
Interview
The interview process consisted of three rounds: two technical rounds and one HR round.
The first technical round focused on my background, technical skills, and discussion of my projects.
The second technical round was entirely DSA-focused, assessing problem-solving and algorithmic thinking.
The HR round was relatively straightforward and mainly covered my self-introduction along with some basic personal details.

From the briefing there should be 4-5 rounds of interview. First round is a catch up with the HR. Second round was straight into a case study with a senior consultant in the company.

Question 1
Even thought the JD stated marketing descriptions and the HR's email also noted on to prepare on marketing knowledge. In the second round, I was asked questions on credit card based case studies.
Interview had 2 stages. Stage 1 was an online assesment, including 3 questions that needed to be answered in a max 3 minute video window. The questions were related to shopping center transformation, such as how to draw in more consumers, what new shops to open based on a table with financials. The second stage was broken to two 1 hour interviews, scheduled on two seperate days. These were conducted in typical consulting style, closest to McKinsey's style, in which we walked through about 5 case questions each time. The first interview was with a managing consultant, second with a senior managing consultant.
