An online asynchronous video interview, with a mix of Korean and English behavioural and mini-case questions. Afterwards, an online synchronous interview asking clarifying questions about your resume, and case-style questions (not a formal case-interview).
The recruiter marked the application as interviewing, but never called for interviews.
Not even a screening call and then after 2 months received auto reply that we have moved forward with other candidates and even asked for my interview process
What rubbish process
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mastercard (Purchase, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process was well-structured and overall a positive experience. It began with a one-way video interview where I answered a mix of behavioral and role-related questions. This stage focused on communication, how you think through problems, and your interest in data and the company.
After that, I moved on to a live interview stage, which included both technical and behavioral components. The technical portion was not overly difficult but focused more on how you approach problems rather than getting a perfect answer. I was asked about my experience with data, dashboards, and how I’ve worked through challenges in past projects. The behavioral portion focused on teamwork, adaptability, and how I handle real-world situations.
Throughout the process, the interviewers were professional and created a comfortable environment. I appreciated that they were genuinely interested in learning about my experiences rather than trying to trip me up. Communication from the recruiting team was clear, and I received updates in a reasonable timeframe.
Overall, I would describe the process as moderately challenging but fair, especially for students with experience in data, analytics, or system-based projects. My biggest advice would be to clearly explain your past work, think out loud during problem-solving, and show curiosity.
