Process
The process was incredibly quick.
I applied online and received an email less than 10 minutes later asking to set up a time for a phone screening. I scheduled the phone screen for about 5 days later.
The interviewer was very nice and genuine to talk to. They didn't ask any technical questions, just reviewed my experience and knowledge of MongoDB.
Unfortunately, I only got 4-5 hours of sleep before the interview, performed poorly, and wasn't asked to continue the interview process.

I really enjoyed that, and it helped me pick a team where I can do work that I love. I also loved the culture at MongoDB. There were so many social events and opportunities to get to know each other. There is also a great work-life balance, which I value a lot.Cons: If any issues came up, I was able to bring it up to my recruiter (as an intern or new grad) or with my manager, and they have been very understanding and helpful.
