Question 1
They asked me to talk about a project I really liked working on.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard in Mar 2025
Interview
For the third and final interview, I was assigned three tasks to prepare: 1) A slide deck to present their product, as though they were a real customer a TAM would work with; 2) Verify that an Active Cookie Consent Method was properly implemented and functioning as expected on a customer's website; 3) Customer prioritisation exercise.
During the interview, while presenting their product the way I understood it, the panel kept interrupting me with questions about the product itself. It felt like they expected me to be an expert on it already, even though I hadn't started the job yet! On top of that, they threw in around five unexpected code-related questions, despite this being a no-code role. Before the interview nobody mentioned I'd be looking at random websites and trying to explain their code which created unnecessary stress and was highly inefficient. The whole thing was odd—they kept saying how supportive their team is, but the way they operate doesn't really back that up. Honestly, during the interview, I felt like they were trying to undermine me. It wasn't a great experience and gave off vibes of a toxic work environment.

Question 1
Show/ explain that the Active Cookie Consent is implemented on X website.
many rounds of interview. at the last meeting with SVP, who was late, not prepared...(they were literally reading the CV while interviewing), there was no questions regarding the job advertised nor the relevant experience. The 25 mins interview was on past work experiences. In particular i have been asked to provide the four catehpries of certain definition not related to the job. I felt like being in high school. it has been humiliating without saying unfair. At the phone call from HR feedback was I have been told that I was unable to answer correctly to one question. Maybe they are looking for the perfect unicorn who answers all the questions, I would have expected questions on the job.
