I applied through college or university. I interviewed at MongoDB
Interview
The job interview had 3 rounds of interviews. The first interview was a phone interview which lasted 30 min, and then 2nd round of interviews which was 3 hours long.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at MongoDB in Jan 2023
Interview
- Connected to recruiter and had first phone interview with company recruiter. - Second interview with Hiring Manager, who was 10+ minutes late. Mostly get-to-know-you conversation and questions about relevant background. Seemed to go well enough overall. - A self-scheduled 1-hour Profile Sales Assessment. - Was then informed that the first hiring manager filled his position, and had an interview set up with another hiring manager. - For 2nd HM interview, waited about 5-10 minutes alone on the Zoom call, and then I reached out to the recruiter to find out that the HM had something come up and needed to reschedule. - I did successfully reschedule (with several unanswered emails from the recruiter in the meantime), and when I went into the interview, the Zoom link didn't work. I attempted to reach out to the recruiter via email and Hiring Manager via LinkedIn to let them know. I got no response, and later in the day received an email that I wasn't selected for the position. Inconsistent responsiveness from the recruiting team, lack of respect from the hiring managers for a candidate's time, and no communication/cop out for a decision to not proceed further.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at MongoDB (Rome) in Dec 2022
Interview
Very intensive and enriching experience. The interview process simulates a sales process (discovery, proposition, qualification, negotiation, closing). The extended team dedicated to me a significant amount of time. During the process I improved my skills and stated understood the incredible work ethic, quality and brightness of the people in MongoDB and of the company itself.
