One of the worst interview processes ever. I got a call from the recruiter for a job opening in the mastercard. After initial discussions, the interview was scheduled with the technical panel. The interview was pretty smooth. The interviewer was professional and friendly. The tone of the interview was also comfortable. I had presented my portfolio and he was convinced with my prior work. He asked me some questions and I answered most of the questions. The interview went for close to one hour. Before concluding the interview he asked me to share my works on email and told me that he is going to share the work with his superiors. Also, he told me to be ready for the next round which was going to be scheduled in the next week. What followed was the worst experience. I did not hear from Mastercard for the last two months. If they were not going to consider me for another round, they should not have talked about the same. Giving false hope to the interviewees and then ghosting them is the worst thing.
