Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We appreciate the positives you mentioned, and we also respect your concerns and take them seriously. Leadership development is a big focus for the coming fiscal year. So far we've invested heavily in new manager training, and we are excited to bring that level of support to all layers of leadership at MongoDB. We strive to uphold a culture of transparency and encourage all employees to reach out to their leaders with questions. It is our goal to ensure that everyone has the tools and resources they need to succeed at MongoDB. If you would be open to sharing more, please reach out to your designated People Partner or email our Senior Employer Brand Manager, Jess Katz, at jess.katz@mongodb.com.

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.
