I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MongoDB (New York, NY) in Mar 2025
Interview
The interview process was quick and efficient. Everyone from the recruiter to the interviewers were always respectful and accommodating. The questions asked were relevant to the position. We had some good discussions about the solutions and beyond. It really felt at times like solving a problem with your coworker. Very positive experience.
