I had a negative interview experience with Mastercard.

After the initial steps, I was given a technical assignment to complete, which I submitted to the recruiter within the deadline.

I was expecting to receive feedback within about a week, but heard nothing.

I followed up with the recruiter, only to receive an automated response that they were on vacation and would return in a week.

After waiting, I reached out again once the recruiter was supposed to be back but still received no reply or feedback.

A few days later, I received an automated notification that another candidate had been selected.

Overall, the lack of communication and feedback made the experience disappointing and unprofessional.
