I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mastercard (Saint Louis, MO) in Jan 2021

I sent my resume to a launch code recruiter. 1 week later mastercard recruiter reach out. Then 1 week later I got interviewed by 2 mastercard members. The technical interview was simply about my past experiences and networking skills. The interviewer was really nice, kind and knowledgeable. The interview took 1 hr. Then about 2 weeks later received an offer. The process took 1 month and a half in total.

Some networking questions like what’s DNS, DHCP, Putty? etc. .
What’s some of this Linux command do?
Talk about your job, what was your role?
What do you know about devop?
How do you deal with your failure?
One of the worst interview experiences. They took forever to schedule the first interview. It was suppose to be a 30 min interview, but it lasted for more than 45 min.
Initial phone screening with HR and the 2nd round was with the hiring manager. Friendly staff but I may not have been as qualified as I thought. There were a lot of questions about specific software used in the role.
The interview process went well. I was asked questions about linux, unix and splunk. They usually go over cv and ask questions around it. The interviewers seem very polite and wise.
