From the very beginning of the hiring process, I have been WOWED by how much care and attention MongoDB has placed into the recruiting process. This is by far a company that deserves to be considered into one of the best places to work at, just by reflecting on the way that I've been treated during this entire process (since I was reached out on LinkedIn by my current manager, the interviews that followed with him and the Sales VP of LATAM, the rest of the team, the challenge and the preparation,...), the care that I have been given and the understanding of my situation and needs, the challenges that I have been put into and the drive that it unlocked on me as a candidate. I'm so glad I took this decision!!

Talk about your experience in a Sales role. Discuss Pipeline Generation and tools that you use on a rolling basis. Discuss Account research, segmentation and prospection
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.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto più di 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso MongoDB

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.

The most common question is "Why MongoDB?" and don't think the answer is easy ;)
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso MongoDB (Dubai) nel mese di ago 2025
Colloquio
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.

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