I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MongoDB in Oct 2021
Interview
Passed the phone interview and got rejected after the Karat interview. Didn't like the Karat interview that much since it didn't seem like the interviewer knew C that much and couldn't lend me a hand when I was struggling.

Question 1
Why did you get into Computer Science? (Phone Interview)
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
