Pros

Decent pay and some interesting code to write here and there. If you're a database person, the place could be good.

Cons

Snail pace of development. Their touted culture is nothing to be impressed by, I found it pretty lacking to say the least, nearly worst I've seen in my entire career. I didn't feel proud that I worked at MongoDB either. No regrets for leaving.

The early talent team does a fantastic job supporting interns and making the transition from college to full-time comfortable. Team's truly do care for you

Felt like there was a lot changes happening at the executive level

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.
