Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Applied online and received an email about an HR call. The call was pretty typical; ensure you know why you want to work at MongoDB and what they do.
After this, I received an invitation to a technical phone interview via a coding platform. The question was pretty easy.
Following that, I was invited to interview in person at the HQ. The onsite experience included a paid lunch with new grad employees and then three back-to-back interviews: one with a hiring manager and two with engineers. Overall, it was a fairly standard process.
