I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MongoDB in Dec 2015
Interview
I submitted my resume online and got a response within a few days, asking for an initial interview. I said yes, of course, and had a half hour interview with one of the technical recruiters. She asked about my resume and MongoDB - likes and dislikes, what database experience I had, etc. There weren't any technical questions, per se, it was more to get a sense of my background.
I got the next interview, another phone interview, which lasted about an hour. This time it was a technical interview. It was my first technical interview, so I stumbled through it and didn't make it to the next round. I've done multiple interviews since and now realize that Mongo actually asks some of the easier questions, when compared to their peer companies. With that said, if you're excited about working here like I once was, make sure it's not the first company you interview with!

Question 1
The technical question I got was given two arrays, output an array with the elements that are contained in both (so the set interaction).
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at MongoDB in Sep 2020
Interview
1. Applied online as well as got an intern referral
2. 25 minute phone call interview with recruiter was very pleasant. Call was to gauge interest in the work MongoDB does.
Did not make it to final round. Communication was very clear and had a fast turnaround.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MongoDB (New York, NY)
Interview
Really good and well structured interview process. The recruiters replied within a day max if not sooner, the interviewers were all invested and did not come across as cocky. Other companies should really look at MongoDB's interview process to know what a good end to end process/pipeline looks like.
