Pros

Prioritise your mental wellbeing and stay away

Cons

On the outside people think it's nice to work for a modern technology firm. Little do they know how middle management is just a bunch of fools. Sales-supporting functions (Partners, BDRs) are sub-sub-optimal in their efficacy, capacity and strategy. Mass exodus from Solutions Architect team, then a bunch of people on paternity across teams reeks of poor resource planning. But all that is ok if the opportunities kept coming right? That's the thing, there aren't any credible opportunities that COME IN. Gaming is easy come easy go, the legitimate businesses don't close so quickly because while the database is important. Get in line to wait for your turn, they have other projects to move on with. Everything the sales team has, they did it on their own because the leadership still have their own heads planted in the ground still waiting for answers to drop from the sky and refusing to be the one to get the BDR team, Partner team, SA Team, PS Team to take ownership of their own responsibilities. Guess the VP now is ok, at least he makes the RDs shake a bit. Last time all shake legs until Sales Ops ask questions.

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.
