Unfortunately not a great recruiter screen call experience. I decided not to proceed with the application after this call, despite being offered a follow up call with a sales leader. There was explicit bias imposed on the discussion, not even unconscious. The recruiter told me that they do not usually hire people from the company that I work at because it's not known for having a high-performing sales culture (despite me being a high performer). This left me with a bad a taste in my mouth... and after feeling positive initially about the company and the call, I did not want to proceed after that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think sets you apart from other sales people?
Weird. Three interviews all positive and a commitment to fast track to the challenge. Then ghosted. No reply to follow up emails etc.
With a background in NoSql sales and with only 30% or so of the sales team planning to hit target then I thought a response at least. It reminds me of that saying keep on following the same process and expecting a different outcome is insanity
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at MongoDB in Sept 2025
Interview
Long process with no clear timeline nor overview. Puts candidates to work and waste their time. Not the brightest of the bunch. Worth considering if your time is worth it.

I had an initial interview and never heard back from the recruiting team. Didn't get a confirmation email from them to let me know their decision of moving forward or not.
