I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard (Washington, DC) in Oct 2017
Interview
- Phone Screen with HR
- Techincal Interview using google docs (or equivalent)
- Four 45 minute interviews at the super day
Super straightforward and responsive throughtout the process. They treat you like a person, not a number.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Design an API for an interface so that it does x, y, and z
- Two memoization based questions (Ex: calculate the nth number of the fibinachi sequence using O(1) memory)
- One misc question from Cracking the Coding Interview
I had two interviews.
The first one the interviewer didn't turn on there camera which I thought was rude.
On the second interview only one of the interviewers turned on the camera.
Both interviews mumbled and didn't have the best microphones.
I was cut off mid sentence when answering questions.
When they asked questions they would look around as if the interview process was a hassle for them.
Generally I found the behaviour to be completely un-professional.
Interview questions [1]

The questions were around core Java, spring and testing.
It was good. A technical interview with Engineer followed by a Personality one. The Engineer was very helpful and nice. He didnt but pressure on me The personality interview was easier they asked some technical questions too
