I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Mastercard
Interview
Very relaxed informational interview with a recruiter, then a first round interview with the hiring manager and a case exercise. The case exercise took a few hours but was interesting. It was unfortunate not to move beyond the case round after putting so much energy and effort into it, but they were honest with feedback and let me know they had decided to move ahead with a more qualified candidate for this particular role. All together, everyone was very friendly and they encouraged me to apply again as other roles become available.

Question 1
This was for a strategy-focused role, so a lot about strategy and work and communications habits. The case exercise was a business case example that I had to develop a deck for.
