      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mastercard (Pune) in Mar 2021

      Interview

      Most irresponsible HRs. Applied from linkedin, received call after 2 weeks. First round was scheduled after a week in mid March. The interview went well and the interviewer was very supportive and friendly. Did not receive any feedback from HR until 2 weeks. Received call for second round, the interview got rescheduled thrice and the HR did not have the courtesy to inform me prior. Had to follow up multiple times for second round. Finally Round 2 happened just for name sake. No technical questions were asked and interviewer was disinterested. Finally mailed HR for feedback, no reply/ communication for another 10 days. After multiple follow ups, HR replied with a very rude comment that she is not entitled to give feedback but her team is. Overall a very bad experience, immature recruitment team, disinterested interviewers, no basic etiquettes or courtesy towards interviewees. Highly disappointed with Mastercard, the weightage the company holds in market, the hiring process that they follow are completely opposite. Do not post for job openings, if you dont intend to hire them. Stop wasting others time.
