I applied online. I interviewed at MongoDB in Apr 2021
Interview
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter very quickly. There were 4 steps in the process:
1) Recruiter Phone screen - standard session to learn more about the company and the specific role I was applying for.
2) Technical Screen - part behavioral, part coding
3) On-Site consisting of 4 sessions - 2 coding, 1 systems design, 1 behavioral
4) Conversation with VP
I received feedback promptly (after a day or two) after each round. All interviews were conducted virtually. The behavioral and VP rounds allowed a lot of time for me to ask questions

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at MongoDB in Jun 2026
Interview
The interview process was well organized and flowed smoothly. However, it had quite a few stages, starting with an HR interview to assess my background and skills, followed by a technical interview that included a live coding exercise and several in-depth technical questions. Overall, it was a thorough process that effectively evaluated both technical ability and problem-solving skills.
Interviewer had a particular solution in mind that took a different approach from my own. My solution was algorithmically correct but not one that they were familiar with and preferred a non-closed form solution.
