      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MongoDB in Jul 2023

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MongoDB in Mar 2024

      Interview

      Met with two people - initially went well and talked about my prior experience with databases. Then, SURPRISE, read and interpret code! There was no mention of interpreting code when initially engaged for the interview. Managed to do fairly well with it. But must not have done well enough - process ended after initial interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Can you interpret this code and make suggestions for improving it or point out coding errors?
      Answer question

      Interview

      The recruiter was 10 minutes late to the initial screening. She did not seem to really understand the job she was recruiting for, and could not clearly answer questions. Several links in her meeting invite did not work. I stated to her that I am not a programmer so if they are looking for that, because I was unclear from the JD what they wanted, I am not the person. She did not seem to know what they wanted, and pushed me to the next round. I met with the hiring manager and she asked some basic questions, seemingly based on a prefilled checklist. I asked again if they wanted a programmer, as I am not that, and she was unclear in her response. I was moved to the next round, to a technical interview, where I was asked a three rote questions (I was told by the interviewer that he HAD to ask those questions - it took all of 5 minutes), and then was immediately asked to code. I stated, again, that I am not a programmer so we can just stop now, or I can go through how I would document the proposed example. He then asked me to design the application, like a programmer would, and he'd write the code. I did my best to design an application from scratch, even though that is not what I'd do in the job, and I was rejected the next day based on technical ability. I feel like they really wasted my time. I would have had to do two more rounds if I'd progressed; five interviews is excessive for an IC role.

      Question 1

      They asked me to design and code an API endpoint.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at MongoDB

      Interview

      First spoke with a recruiter. Then there were several rounds of video interviews with employees in different roles. A few of the sessions were conducted in Coder Pad. Sent them many writing samples for review.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They had me sign into Coder Pad and rewrite some documentation and explain my rationale for the edits. The interviewers asked me the same questions in separate interviews.
