how to populate embed array of object in mongoose

Question

I Have following model for a team

var team = new mongoose.Schema({
    supervisor: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'employee' }, // SupervisorId
    commanders: [{
        employee: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'employee' }, //under supervisor
        level: { type: Number, defult: 1 }
    }]
});

while fetching data from DB I am able to populate supervisor but not employees in commanders array

I tried something like below

db.team.findOne({
        supervisor: employeeId
    }).populate({
        path: 'supervisor',
        populate: {
            path: 'commanders',
            populate: {
                path: 'employee',
                model
            }
        }
    })

Need help.!!
