Pros

- Lots of opportunity for lateral and vertical movement - A general focus by management on what the company can do for your career - Many very smart people who are happy to mentor or help you grow - Autonomy as an engineer to work however fits you best - Opportunity to work with and on exciting technologies - Great work life balance

Cons

- Open office, if that's not your thing. - Engineering focused around the Midtown Manhattan office. Remote is becoming more and more viable however. - Still some growing pains as the company is expanding rapidly, such as channels for cross-team collaboration are in their creation stages

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.
