Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Applied through the recruitment firm. The process described included a 1-hour technical phone/Zoom screen and a 4-hour onsite interview. I didn't make it past the technical screen itself, so I can't comment on the onsite experience.
The technical screen question was a LeetCode hard question, and I honestly didn't expect that during a tech screen. I was only able to provide a half-working solution and explain my thought process on how to solve it, but that wasn't sufficient for me to move on to the onsite.
If you are applying, be prepared to answer LeetCode hard questions (even during the tech screen).

MongoDB Work Experiences
- 3.0Senior Software EngineerSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesAugust 23, 2015Pros: Individuals, and some small teams, in the company are brilliant and can get amazing things done. In general, employees are high quality and have a huge amount of potential.Cons: Departments and teams have little interaction or cohesion. A lack of vision leads to challenges executing and focusing on short-term goals, and the inability to plan for longer-term ones. There is no real company culture or ownership, which makes it hard to be personally invested or put in the extra time or energy to make something great.
- 4.0Good Pay, Okay TechSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesFebruary 7, 2023Pros: Good pay. Good WLB. Interesting engineering challenges.Cons: Tech stack is not cutting-edge. Bar is low.
- 5.0Great Work-Life Balance & Good PaySenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesMarch 15, 2023Pros: Pay is on par with industry, not nearly as high as the FAANG companies but I'd say probably one step down. Coworkers are intelligent but also very friendly and personable. It's not a bunch of genius/jerks. They seem to be fairly resilient to the current economic downturn; I have yet to hear of any layoffs.Cons: No 401k matching or bonus. Career growth options are not nearly what they'd be at a larger company; however, I've seen this improve during my time at the company.
