The MongoDB New Grad Rotation Program is a unique approach to placing newly minted engineers on teams, designed to optimize team fit and enhance collaboration. The program allows new grads to rotate through three different teams before choosing the best fit, giving them a broad experience of various technologies and team environments. This approach has several benefits, including enabling new grads to truly experience their teams before committing, maximizing the likelihood that every engineer is where they are most excited, and providing a broad experience that helps engineers develop skills such as technical writing and project management. The program also allows experienced engineers to practice management skills by mentoring new grads, and provides a fresh, holistic perspective on software development. Ultimately, the goal of the program is to create "old grads" who can lead teams and design major roadmap features from the ground up, continuing the momentum of recruitment and nurturing the program.
