I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MongoDB in Jun 2016
Interview
I was referred and the process started for a Technical Support Engineer Solution for MongoDB
Everything seemed OK.
The first interview was set with Rod Adams. He is a manager with an IMPRESSIVE LinkedIN profile. We talked about the company and how they did business and the experience I could bring to the organization. Nearing the end of the interview his technical challenge was how would I build a 1 Petabyte storage system with commodity hardware. He mentioned he likes to ask that to candidates and some of them failed miserably at it. Not intimidated by that, I gave it my best shot despite that not being my background. There was no feedback from him and at the end thanked him for his time expressing how much I looked forward to hear back and hopefully join the team. He said he would evaluate me and I would hear form the Company. My impression was that he was indeed a bright fellow and that in general things had gone well. A few days later got an e-mail from the recruiter saying they would not go any further.

Question 1
How would you build a 1Petabyte storage with commodity hardware
Interviewer was late, not prepared, and ate during the interview! It was a surprise as this was after the first few rounds. All the other interviewers were very professional except one who unfortunately was maybe the decision maker. I know because the round stopped there

Interview
Interminable.
The interview process is fully mapped out on their website. Nevertheless, it does go on and on. Too many questions related to skills that I already had that I would never get to use as a TSE
