I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard (Pune) in Dec 2015
Interview
Tech round 1 - Overall duties in current role and technical questions on Unix C/C++, Java, SVN etc
after few days they called for Tech round 2 where I had Technical discussion with US/India teams and answered
HR - Salary discussion, they are very reluctant for paying expected hike. Also they have multiple candidate finished with technical interview, which means someone is not going to get the offer.(is it professional at all?)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
current roles and responsibilities.
Detailed questions on C/Shell/Unix
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.
Interview questions [1]

The questions were around core Java, spring and testing.
