I had the following process: 1. HR screening 2. Hiring manager 3. Technical/SA interview 4. US VP of Sales interview 5. Low level sales person interview 6. "VP" Sales interview What started off as a bright start was soured at the end by an arrogant sales team. I interviewed with the SA and Tech side of the team which got my excited about potentially working for MongoDB, they seemed smart and driven which was then compounded by meeting the US VP of Sales. I should state I went above and beyond most candidates by taking time out of my current job and work trip to NYC to accommodate an interview with him as did he. He is really nice and very respectful, shame the UK team don't take lead from him. What they don't tell you when interviewing for the UK office is that whilst they claim it's a committee decision for hiring, it's basically down the VP of Northern Europe and Belux that decides and if he doesn't like or rate you then all the other months of interviewing are irrelevant which as a candidate is frustrating. On that note their sales team is unprofessional, both times I interviewed they were late. On the 6th interview they showed up 30 mins late. I'm sure they wouldn't have appreciated it if I showed up 30 mins late and still expected to interview. Their disrespect for candidates was clear when they didn't even apologise for their tardiness. Beware if you are interviewing towards the 5th and 6th interview, they ask illegal questions such as age and personal questions about your background that are irrelevant to your ability to perform a job. Also their interview technique is basically intimidating you and then claiming it's about pressure based when the reality is that their questions are subjective and the answers they are looking for are purely based off them thinking their opinion is the only correct opinion. Overall it's a shame as MongoDB is a decent product with a bright future but on some thorough reflection I actually feel like I've dodged a bullet due to having to work with a uncharismatic sales team with zero humility and a SA manager with no backbone to fight for what he wants due to being scared of the sales team. Oh the last thing to note, expect to talk about your CV as not a single one of them made an effort to pre-read it before the interview and then had the audacity to tell me off for not researching the CEO. Let me be clear on the last part, the CEO not the company, the CEO. Whilst I agree it's important to do full research that I personally didn't get to do, knowing what the CEO writes on the MongoDB blog has no bearing ones ability to do a job. As someone who conducts interviews myself I just found the sales team overall technique odd. It's like they've been taught a specific way to conduct interview and if the answer isn't on that approved list then it's wrong in their eyes.

They told me that there are 5 rounds interviews in the process 1. HR screening 2. Hiring manager inteview 3. Team interview (salesperson) 4. Solution Architect director interview 5. Director of sales interview
