I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MongoDB (New York, NY)
Interview
Standard phone interview. Recruiter will contact you to set up a time to talk over the phone. Very friendly, but asked me to clarify my graduation date four times. Got back within the week, I got rejected.

Question 1
Why do you want to quit your current job to work at MongoDB
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at MongoDB (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2026
Interview
Some behavioral questions and a rate limiter coding question with a staff engineer. They really wanted full proof code with no syntax errors and no interviewer guidance. Felt like the interviewer was not attentive.
Saw a fresh ad online, applied quickly and got a quick follow-up from recruiter. So far so good. Well, that's where it ends. After the recruiter call was scheduled, I got completely ghosted.
The interview process was seamless, and the recruiter was helpful and communicative throughout the process. The interviewers were friendly and knowledgeable. The interviews included DSA, Design, Concurrency, and Behavioural aspects. Had a great experience overall.
