Process
- Recruiter screen (about experience/what do you know of MongoDB).
- Followed by 1 coding interview over the phone (with a woman, which I liked, because I am a woman in tech).
- Then, a virtual on-site with 3 interviews (all coding).
Really nice interviewers! They seemed excited about working at MongoDB and answered all questions with patience.

Signed an NDA, but the questions were pretty standard. The interviewer was happy to help you out when or if you were stuck.
