I applied through other source. I interviewed at MongoDB
Interview
I've received a call the other day. The communication didn't go smoothly. I'd like to leave this for the company to improve the hiring process. I think it would be better if companies could send a reminder or book a meeting in google calendar. I don't know if I was supposed to get an event in calendar.
Someone called Vicky called me and honestly I have forgot I have a call. I think the person was using the headsets and the quality wasn't great. I have mentioned that I don't hear well. It wasn't comfortable and I felt more stress this way.
I had similar process at Netfiix and i can compare at least this initial stage.
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.
