I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MongoDB (London, England) in Sept 2023
Interview
Dishonest. This is the first time I passed a technical interview, the code ran, and they failed me anyway. Didn't explain you say? Nah, every line of code was commented. It's because I made a few syntax mistakes, which were corrected within seconds. This is due to the fact that I use at least another 5 programming languages.
To the interviewer who was clearly biased, and shouldn't be working there, you know who you are. You failed me unfairly. You lied to your manager that I did not complete the challenge. I passed that challenge fair and square, fetched the data from the API, with 15 mins to spare. You will get found out soon enough.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked to fetch JSON data from an API URL using Typescript.
Interviewer had a particular solution in mind that took a different approach from my own. My solution was algorithmically correct but not one that they were familiar with and preferred a non-closed form solution.
