I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Mastercard (Dublin, Dublin) in Sep 2024
Interview
Detailed 5 rounds of interview. With technical rounds and people rounds. Overall warm interview. Technical round concentrated on system design, deeper understanding of infrastructure, software design, security. Both breadth and depth are required. More concentrated rounds on level up interviews.
It was a reasonable interview, will not call it difficult.. the discussion was more around cultural fitment, global mobility and ability to adapt to a large matrix organization. Lot of stress was placed on communication skills vs technical skills
1 HR screening call and 3 rounds of interview with hiring manager and peers. The question was straightforwards and to the business. No much related to AI. Overall it was a good experience
I applied through other source. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Mastercard (Amsterdam) in Jul 2025
