I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at MongoDB in Mar 2019
Interview
Reached out by recruiter in LinkedIn, then it took weeks to went back and forth to schedule first round phone call, then waited another few weeks to receive an email scheduling the first phone tech interview.
The interview question was super easy. However, after that interview, I never received any responses.
I already got 2 offers from other companies, so just decided to move on.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at MongoDB (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2026
Interview
Some behavioral questions and a rate limiter coding question with a staff engineer. They really wanted full proof code with no syntax errors and no interviewer guidance. Felt like the interviewer was not attentive.
Saw a fresh ad online, applied quickly and got a quick follow-up from recruiter. So far so good. Well, that's where it ends. After the recruiter call was scheduled, I got completely ghosted.
The interview process was seamless, and the recruiter was helpful and communicative throughout the process. The interviewers were friendly and knowledgeable. The interviews included DSA, Design, Concurrency, and Behavioural aspects. Had a great experience overall.
