I applied online. I interviewed at MongoDB (Austin, TX) in Aug 2017
Interview
3 phone interviews and 2 in person interviews.
1st call is with a recruiter
2nd and 3rd call are with Sales Managers (Your future bosses)
1st in person interview: You meet with 3 key members of the sales team. These are one on one . Very easy and conversational.
2nd in person interview is a "sales challenge". They send you a case study the day before, then you do a role playing exercise with 3/4 of the sales team. They want to see how you qualify/ask questions
Overall this process is very drawn out and repetitive. You're hiring an SDR..not the director of sales. You will have the same conversation 6 times over the course of this process.
Also they tend to ghost people during the process..Emailed/called multiple people with no response. Very unprofessional considering how much work they make you do.
Very straightforward and clear instructions on next steps. Asked questions around sales experience and what I was looking for in an organization. First round was a screening, followed up by multiple rounds with managers and directors.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MongoDB (Austin, TX) in Jun 2019

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What value added would you be able to bring to the team at MongoDB?
I had the initial call with the recruiter which said that she would like to put me through to the next step, interview with the hiring manager. The hiring manager was on holidays and recruiter promised she would contact me and schedule an interview right after his return. Even though I sent a follow up email I was completely ignored
