The outsourced technical round asked two LeetCode questions and some general coding knowledge questions. It was a standardized format, and the interviewer was from an outsourced company. The LeetCode questions were of medium difficulty, and the knowledge questions were easy.

- Good work-life balance.
- As an intern, your mentors want you to succeed.

Exceptional leadership and structure throughout the entire organization

Pros: I've been in IT for 3 decades and have done everything from developer, business owner, director, consultant, and solutions engineer/architect. I've seen many organizations operate, but I have never seen an organization operating with such efficiency and structure. Everyone is responsible and owns what they do. There are no excuses and delays like I've seen from other organizations. It's almost an ideal company to work for. I feel blessed to be working for MongoDB along with highly technical and intelligent people.
Cons: Plenty of work, but that is not even a negative in my book. I'm just letting people know that there is plenty of work, and this is not a place to do 9 to 5. :-)

Challenging Work, Quality Concerns

Pros: Interesting technical challenges in day-to-day work.
Cons: Grew fast and the code quality took a hit. There’s also a lack of women in senior technical roles across several engineering divisions.
