I applied online. I interviewed at Mastercard (Moscow, Moskva) in July 2020
Interview
Great interview experience with interesting people. The whole process was a delightful experience, very smooth, on time, respectful and relaxed, though some cases were difficult.
Had 2 HR interviews (1 in the beginning, 1 in the end), 3 interviews with the team (manager, country lead, region lead). Great people I would be happy to work with, but I've got an even better offer from an MBB company.
