I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at MongoDB
Interview
The best hiring process I've ever done. Very detailed, complex and complete. Gives the company the opportunity to really understand the fit of the candidate and also gives the candidate the opportunity to understand the company way of work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most common question is "Why MongoDB?" and don't think the answer is easy ;)
The hiring director was great to work with. However, the panel and final-stage interviews with the two other regional sales directors felt unwelcoming and condescending. They showed little interest in sales or discovery skills. The clear expectation is that you arrive as a product expert. Be prepared for an interview style that can feel dismissive if you can't match their technical product knowledge.

"tell me why you would or wouldn't prioritize this account"
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MongoDB (Dubai) in Aug 2025
Interview
It was one of the strangest interview processes I’ve ever experienced. Instead of HR reaching out to me after my application, it was directly the sector manager. He said he wanted to have an initial interview, and so we did. It was more of a casual chat rather than a structured interview — we didn’t really go into background, strategy, or sales processes. To give you an idea of how casual it was: he occasionally checked his phone and even used one of those electronic cigarettes during the conversation.
At the end of the meeting, he mentioned there would be an assessment, which they would share with me, and that based on the results, the next steps would be decided. I completed the assessment, and during this time, we were even in contact via WhatsApp. After submitting it, I informed him as well.
After that, complete silence. All messages stopped. My questions went unanswered. My messages weren’t even read. I assumed the process was over (at least for me it was), but I still wanted to receive some feedback. Yet, no reply ever came. Not even an automated rejection notice :)
I was ghosted. Not exactly the most professional behavior.

It was a casual talk. They asked my Bachelor, some of about my experience.
