I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2016
Interview
I met with APT at a career fair on campus, dropped a resume, and filled out an interest form. After completing the online application, I was invited to campus first rounds the following week. First interview consisted of 2 back-to-back 30 minute case interviews. I was called later that night and invited back for final rounds at their SF office. They paid all of our transportation costs, invited us all to a networking dinner the night before the final rounds, and even provided accommodation in a nice hotel in the city. The final round consisted of 4 45-minute case interviews, a panel with current BCs, and lunch, and lasted approximately 7 hours. Each of the case interviews started with a few minutes of resume review, 30-35 minutes for the case, and about five minutes at the end for you to ask questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All the cases were interesting, intuitive, and often based on the interviewer's past projects. Their cases tend to be heavily quantitative, so make sure you're comfortable with mental math (and double check your calculations with the interviewer before moving on!).

Interview
Skype interview followed by final round super day. The final round was in Arlington with breakfast, then a presentation about the firm, then 4x45 minute interviews with a 90 minute lunch break at some point.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard (London, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
first round consists of 2 case studies, 30mins each. They were dissimilar to a typical business case that you would do for MBB for example. Instead, its much more like a single problem that you have to solve. Will typically be a revenue problem for example or 'should we go ahead with this project'. Behavioural was about 7mins long and is basic. If you clear the first stage, second round is four 45min cases.
I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard (Washington, DC) in Oct 2018
Interview
I applied through campus recruiting. I had two on-campus first round interviews and then 4-5 second round interviews in the DC office. In addition, the super-day included a presentation, lunch, and a networking dinner the night before. All of the interviews involved a case and some personality questions/questions about why I wanted to join APT. The interview process overall was nice, and everyone I met was genuine and enthusiastic about their jobs. I turned down the offer because the work itself didn't seem terribly exciting.
