I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard (Bogotá, Bogota) in Nov 2018
Interview
I applied for MasterCard Advisors in BOGOTÁ, Colombia’a office. I knew about the open position from a friend who was working in MA. The process was very fast and consisted of 4 business cases about Market Sizing, Cost Reduction, Market penetration, and pricing. Cases were not related to the financial industry, they were about an Airline analyzing wether to open a new route, a pharmaceutical company entering a new market, and a plastics company analyzing wether to outsource its manufacturing. At the end there was a fifth interview with the head of HR mostly to get to know your motivations, team capabilities and leadership style. It is recommended to to several business case studies and read books like Case in point.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Mastercard (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2024
Interview
Video interview was 3 scenario-based questions, very straightforward and can be prepped beforehand.
No need to prep for "tell me about yourself" and "Why this company" type of questions for this round.

Question 1
Reflect on a significant achievement in your past work/internship
The interview process consisted of two to four rounds of interviews and I would consider the level of difficulty as average. Overall, people are friendly and want to see if you'll be a fit for the team.

I applied online. I interviewed at Mastercard (Warsaw, Masovia) in Apr 2023
Interview
Very easy process, I had to do an interview and play 12 games to check if my skills align with requirements of the job. The only minus is that you have to record yourself rather than speak to a person.
