Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I applied to MongoDB directly through their website.

The first step was an informational call with a recruiter to explain the role and company, and my interests and skillset.

The second step was a technical phone screen with a senior engineer on the team I was interviewing for.

The third step was a six-hour onsite, where I met with five different people (the hiring manager, three engineers on the team, and an engineer on a different team).

I received an offer within less than one business day.
