Software Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland
Process
I took part in two phone interviews.
The first interview was just to introduce myself and the recruiter. It included a quick tour of my career, interests, and what MongoDB is looking for. It was not challenging at all.
The second interview was supposed to be a technical interview, and it was. Since I come from the Java world, most of the questions were Java-related. All of them were very easy for me to answer, and I did not find this interview challenging whatsoever.
The problem here is that they were not interested in continuation, which is quite difficult to understand for me. It seems that this was a pure waste of time; maybe they just collect statistics on the number of interviewed persons. This just does not make sense to me.
Overall experience with this company is very poor because even when I asked for some feedback, they just ignored me.

The engineering culture sets an incredibly high standard.Cons: The only challenge so far has been the sheer volume of design documents to review and meetings happening, which can feel a bit overwhelming at times.

A project is not considered done until all the tech debt around it is cleared. Everyone around you is very helpful.
