Process

I got a call directly from Mastercard HR, and HR explained that the process will be split into 4 rounds, which were 1-Pre-Technical, 2- Technical, 3-Managerial, and 4-HR.

I cleared the 1st round of technical for which I got notification post one month of the interview later I had good hopes continued to wait for 2nd round mail/call but unfortunately received mail that the position got filled. Very disappointing experience with Mastercard. Although received mail of clearing 1st round did not receive mail or call for 2nd round and the position was filled post a month.
