I interviewed at Mastercard (Arlington, VA) in Mar 2017
Interview
Had 45 minute phone interviews (20 minutes of behavioral questions, then 25 minutes for technical/case questions) before receiving an on-site invitation. Once there, I had four 45-minute interviews that pretty much followed the same format. Topics ranged from testing popular websites to specific product features to statistical tools. Received helpful feedback on things I could improve on, and usually heard within a day or two whether not I would move on to the next round.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Mastercard (Saint Louis, MO) in Mar 2017
Interview
The interview mostly consisted of questions about my background and relating it to the job description. Some of the interview was spent talking about the position itself and what it entails. Since the position is an uncommon one to find the interviewer helped clarify how analysis is used in their HR department to inform hiring decisions.
