The interview process consisted of four rounds. The first was an online coding round that focused on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), with two medium-to-hard level questions related to Graph and Dynamic Programming. Candidates who cleared this round were invited to the Mastercard office in Vadodara for further interviews.
The second and third rounds were technical interviews. The first technical round included questions from DBMS, OOP, and DSA. I was also asked to solve problems like 2-Sum and matrix rotation on paper. They also asked questions from Java, such as annotations and dependency injection. In the second technical round, the focus was on my projects, designing a football match management system (including DB design), writing SQL queries, and one matrix-based DSA problem.
Though I didn’t make it to the HR round, the interview process was well-structured and the interviewers were supportive. It was a great learning experience.
There were 4 rounds in total, 1st round was OA where they asked questions related to C language and your core concepts, then in 2nd and 3rd round project discussion took place and 4th round was HR round
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mastercard in Nov 2025
Interview
Had a back-to-back interview with a 60 minute technical interview, followed by a 30 minute behavioral interview. Both were pretty chill. For the technical, I had the hangman problem other people mentioned but not your typical leetcode like problem. Behavioral was a lot of "tell me about a situation..." questions.

Question 1
Tell me about a situation when you received feedback and how did you take it?
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Mastercard (Saint Louis, MO) in Nov 2025
Interview
Pretty simple, no OA just Technical and Behavioral. Interviews were kind and helpful which was definitely something to appreciate. Technical was a interval problem, maybe a LC easy-medium broken down into parts.
