Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Mastercard nel mese di giu 2017
Colloquio
The hiring process was very disorganized and reflected on the nascent MasterCard Center for Inclusive Growth in my eyes. I applied for the Manager position at the Center for Inclusive Growth early in the year and the talent acquisition team member contacted me in the summer for a screening interview. The Center seems to lack vision and direction as they suddenly wanted to talk about microfinance as innovative (in 2017?!) even though neither their page or the job post mentioned microfinance as a key function of the Center. Additionally, given the issues with microfinance as being anything but inclusive, it was surprising to me that they'd devote so much time to it rather than impact investing or more modern forms of financial inclusion. The process took 5 interviews over the course of 3 months and they even asked me to put together a presentation. One person canceled or changed the interview time on me 4X- once while I was sitting in the lobby! Although I was responsive to all their changes and confusion, they didn't respond when I asked them for feedback about why I didn't get the job at the end.

Domanda 1
What kind of innovative program would you launch in the first 90 days?
I had a positive experience with most interviewers, who were professional and engaged. However, the overall recruiting experience was challenging due to long gaps between interview rounds (approximately 3–4 weeks), inconsistent communication, and limited updates even after follow-ups. One interview felt less structured compared to others, which made the overall process feel somewhat uneven. While the role and work itself were compelling, clearer and more timely communication would significantly improve the candidate experience.

Structure process. Interview through video call which make it easier to plan. Sometimes there were delay as the interviewer were traveling which is understandable. They will response to you on why you did not get the offer, the pro and cons and the selecting process.

What would you do on the first 100 days if you are offered the position?
Speaking from my own experience, Mastercard’s interview process is quite structured and consistent. It began with a quick conversation with the recruiter, more of a logistics alignment around my background, motivations, and salary expectations rather than anything deeply technical. The real assessment kicked in during the hiring manager round. That’s where I was tested on how I build long-term relationships across markets, negotiate commercial terms, and influence senior stakeholders.
