I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at MongoDB in Nov 2020
Interview
The interview process was efficient and engaging. I enjoyed the process and meeting my potential manager. It consisted of 4 rounds, including a recruiter phone screen, manager 1-1, 2x case study "challenge" presentations, and an executive discussion. Overall my expectations were managed well throughout and feedback was quickly delivered.

Interview
Recruiter reached out to me back in October. Had various interviews and was a very start/stop process. Original recruiter was fired, one of the team members I interviewed with left the company. No one would explain why or what happened with them. Company would go on hiring freeze and week later, no more freeze. Red flags everywhere. Final round was a presentation round which is a lot of effort for an interview process. They expect you to know their product inside/out during the presentation when this is only an interview. Overall, declined offer as the interview process is indicative of the company and believe I dodged a bullet.
I applied online. I interviewed at MongoDB (Frankfurt am Main)
Interview
Company makes very positive impression and two people I had a pleasure to speak with were highly professional. After speaking with recruiter and team leader unfortunately I never received any feedback about next stage or disqualification, lack of communication at that stage was a bit disappointing.

Question 1
asked mostly about skills and experience, language skills
Process was thorough and organized, there is an interviewee portal used that details where you are in the process, who you've met with, who you're going to meet with, and any reference materials needed to complete each step. Communication was reliable throughout the process.
