I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at MongoDB (New York, NY) in Sept 2024
Interview
Interviewed through the Women in Tech summit program. Phone screen, Karat technical, attended the summit, and then had a final round consisting of three back-to-back interviews focusing on behavioral, algorithms, and programming. Really nice process, my recruiter was kind and made me feel informed about everything going on throughout the entire timeline.

Question 1

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.
