I applied through university. I interviewed at Mastercard (Pune) in Aug 2022
Interview
2 Technical, 1 Managerial, 1 bar raiser round. First round was coding round. I got the call as part of college placement process. The coding round was eliminatory round. I completed the coding round and after 2-3 days completed rest of rounds in single day
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.
