Pros

-Work culture is important for me, and MongoDB's work culture is very inclusive, empathetic and leaders put a lot of effort to make it a safe space for everyone. -The opportunities for growth are like none other I've experienced. I've never moved up so quickly in any position and been given so much fair autonomy to contribute and grow in my roles and responsibilities. -The company is growing so quickly that mobility is always an option if that's what you choose. Leadership is always open to hearing what you want, rather than just what they need from you. -Professional development and space for learning has never been denied. -CxOs are visionary and despite the company growing so fast, everyone seems to still be working toward a common goal, which is growth.

Cons

Honestly can't think of any. This is the best company I've worked for. No one is perfect, so sure kinks show up here and there, since we're all human, but ppl and culture are quick to reassess. It's a very professional inclusive environment.

Pros

Smart coworkers, fun projects. At the time it still felt like small enough of a company to know people. It's truly an inflection point of my career to work there.

Cons

Not a lot of office perks compared to other big tech companies.

Pros

Most benefits are solid, exception being no matching 401K which is kind of insane for tech. Embraces the use of AI for all employees.

Cons

MongoDB is extremely dysfunctional from a marketing POV. The functional silos built a culture of no collaboration and just checking boxes of doing the same things over and over again. Leadership at the MLT level is out of their depth for what the business needs out of marketing to grow. There is arrogance encouraged by a bully CMO who has her favorites that can be held to different standards than others and it is abundantly clear. That attitude trickles down into all of MLT and never really offer solutions, just criticisms. Pay is lower than other companies for the same role. Lack of clarity of what it takes to get a promotion. Blatant disregard for Employee Engagement surveys that have been on a decline for years that leadership takes no ownership on improving.
