It was a mix of experience and resume walkthrough, description of the role, and behavioral examples questions. The team was described. I was allowed to ask questions, too. Next steps were outlined.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard
Interview
Very straightforward - initial phone screening interview, followed by an interview by line manager, meeting with the team, and then an interview with HR. Everyone was very helpful. Wish I had been given more information on the company at the outset as it's quite different now I'm working there. There was a two week delay between final interview and offer.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Mastercard (Purchase, NY) in May 2011
Interview
Recruiter sourced resume from Linkedin
Had 45 minute phone conversation with hiring manager. He appeared stand-offish but apparently was impressed enough for additional conversations.
Had two in-person interviews with future peer and SVP - I really enjoyed the exchanges
Received an offer within 3 days - delayed for 1 week to complete other previously scheduled interviews. Choose MasterCard because of stronger package and better career alignment
