The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Mastercard (Washington, DC) in Sept 2018
Interview
I was brought in for an on-campus interview on Monday (45 minutes) (I was asked House Robber, and House Robber II). I was called back for another on-campus interview on Wednesday (45 minute) (I was asked to develop an algorithm to win Bananagrams). That evening, I was called back for an all-day interview on Friday (4 45 interviews).
All the interviews were very good, and gave good feedback when I asked a question.
I got an offer on Thursday the week after my interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to develop an algorithm to win Bananagrams.
I had two interviews.
The first one the interviewer didn't turn on there camera which I thought was rude.
On the second interview only one of the interviewers turned on the camera.
Both interviews mumbled and didn't have the best microphones.
I was cut off mid sentence when answering questions.
When they asked questions they would look around as if the interview process was a hassle for them.
Generally I found the behaviour to be completely un-professional.
