Software Engineering Interview Experience - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Process
I made it to the final round.
I had a brief behavioral phone screen, followed by an hour-long technical phone screen. All of their responses were very quick!
After that, they decided to move me onto their final round interviews. If I lived closer to NYC, this would have been in person.
The final round consisted of three consecutive technical interviews via video call and shared coding documents.
I received a call the next day saying that they really liked me but wanted to wait until I had more experience with data structures and the like.

MongoDB Work Experiences
- 5.0Great internship. Friendly, open environment, real work, exciting growth. Had a great summerSoftware Engineering • Current EmployeePalo Alto, California, United StatesAugust 7, 2013Pros: 10gen is not too big. As an intern, we had lunch and question sessions with the founders and CEO. They gave us choices for our project and hooked us up with mentors. All of the projects were real work that is important to the company. Everyone is friendly; you can just go up and talk to them. They had intern events like movies, laser tagging, etc., every week.Cons: Doesn't have the crazy perks like a free cafeteria, haircuts, or buses, etc., that you get at big companies like Facebook or Google.
