I applied online.

I found the entire MongoDB interview process to be very organized and detailed, and that they moved relatively quickly. My negative experience comes from the interviews themselves. I had an initial 30-minute call with the recruiter, camera off. It started out great, but soon I realized the recruiter was just reading questions off a script when she asked a question that I had just given an entire overview on, which threw me off. This gave me the impression they weren't really paying attention to what I was saying. There were also four random technical questions that I don't think sufficiently screen for anything related to the role.

To my surprise, I was invited to a technical round after the call. The interview consisted of these parts:

• The first part of the technical interview: a coding round, prompt-based, choose the language you are comfortable with.
• The second part: foundational-level questions on Linux and networking. There was a previous review that detailed their experience of being drilled on "ls -l." I experienced something very similar, but on Linux processes.

They didn't ask me any questions related to my background and experience.

Why did you choose MongoDB?

What do you get if you type ls -l *?
