Applied online, contacted within 3 weeks for a simple phone screen about things on my resume (projects, what language is my favorite, experience), and if i know anything about MongoDB.
First had a phone call with a recruiter, then a technical assessment through a third party (with a person, not one of those websites), and then a three hour interview with three members of the team. Two of the three hour segments were coding, and the other was a behavioral.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MongoDB (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
