I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard (Dublin, Dublin) in Nov 2013
Interview
I believe they found me on Linkedin and called me. Asked about my experience and schedule a interview with a manager and a Architect, there was a few Java questions that wasn’t hard, they were more interested what what I have builded, how and why I did that way.
Another interview was settled with 2 others developers, asking about frontend skills, because they were looking for frondend skills as well.
The last one HR team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked the most complicated part of the system that I made, I didn’t really remembered well because was long time ago, In fact would be hard even if remembered, because it was a complex part of the system
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.
