Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. El proceso duró 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en MongoDB (San Francisco, CA) en jun 2025
Entrevista
The recruiter reached out over email for a "Customer Success Manager" opening at MongoDB. I scheduled the call with her, which I got only after a week. The call was just 15-20 min, where she questioned, or more like took answers from me with mostly one-word answers for the questions that she asked, like, "So you worked xx for so many years?"
I asked her a few questions about the role and how it is going to be. She couldn't answer any of them, for everything she said the HM would be a better person to answer this question even though the questions were very basic about the role.
She sounded very positive and told me the next steps in the interview rounds and mentioned she would get back to me on Monday (I had the recruiter call on Friday).
Fast forward Monday morning, I get an automated email from MongoDB for a rejection for a "Senior Customer Success Manager" role. I never applied for that role, nor did the recruiter mention it anywhere in the email or during the call. I followed up with her for an update, but unfortunately, she ghosted me as usual.
I wasted 2 weeks of time studying MongoDB, playing with their tools by creating an account, and spending so much time in this all for a role that I never applied for.

Entrevista
Recruiter reached out to me back in October. Had various interviews and was a very start/stop process. Original recruiter was fired, one of the team members I interviewed with left the company. No one would explain why or what happened with them. Company would go on hiring freeze and week later, no more freeze. Red flags everywhere. Final round was a presentation round which is a lot of effort for an interview process. They expect you to know their product inside/out during the presentation when this is only an interview. Overall, declined offer as the interview process is indicative of the company and believe I dodged a bullet.

Company makes very positive impression and two people I had a pleasure to speak with were highly professional. After speaking with recruiter and team leader unfortunately I never received any feedback about next stage or disqualification, lack of communication at that stage was a bit disappointing.

asked mostly about skills and experience, language skills
Process was thorough and organized, there is an interviewee portal used that details where you are in the process, who you've met with, who you're going to meet with, and any reference materials needed to complete each step. Communication was reliable throughout the process.
