The hiring process was nice and quick. I applied at the career fair after receiving an invitation from the recruiter. I was then approached for a 30-45 minute phone chat with someone from HR. After getting through that, which involved a basic CS question, I got a call from an engineer. This interview wasn't technical either and focused more on my work and interests. These two interviews took about two weeks.

Then, I was contacted the same week for another phone interview scheduled for the following week. This interview would be technical, and I would be writing code on an online collaborative editor. This interview went well, and after clearing this stage, I was invited to MongoDB's New York office for a final round.

The final round was very relaxed and chill. We enjoyed lunch with new graduates and other employees, and then I had three one-hour interviews back-to-back. The day ended with a 10-15 minute chat with the recruiter. I received an email asking what a good time would be to talk on the phone the following week and was later told that I had been offered the position.

The interview questions relied on Algorithms, Data Structures, and objective thinking more than anything else.

Interviewers were very accommodating and took you through the process in a supportive and helpful manner.

They expected you to know basics about the way code runs on a machine and errors that can arise based on the approach you take.
