J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 3 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez MongoDB (Austin, TX) en juin 2021
Entretien
I was contacted by the Sales Director/hiring manager on LinkedIn. I immediately informed him of my compensation requirements, base+OTE.
He messaged me back asking to learn more about my background and scheduled an interview.
The interview consisted of being machine gunned generic qualification engagement, and culture fit.
At the end of the interview the hiring manager finally reveals that the compensation would be significantly lower than my expectations, and that MongoDB makes up for the lack of salary with career growth opportunity.
I immediately reminded him of my compensation requirements that I mentioned BEFORE the interview.
He then retorted with a list of reasons he doesn't think I would be a good fit for the role. He also mentioned I should work at another place before MongoDB in order to get more experience!
I am glad it didn't work out. The culture seems very toxic/dominating and also ignorant.
Sorry, nothing in this world makes up for the lack of good pay. Next time pay attention to salary requirements before wasting everyone's time.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Q: What does your sales process look like?
Q: What can we help you improve upon.
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.

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.

Question 1
The most common question is "Why MongoDB?" and don't think the answer is easy ;)

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.

Question 1
It was a casual talk. They asked my Bachelor, some of about my experience.
