Pros

Everybody is strong in their own fields, but at the same time very humble and helpful. The teams and employees really support each other and there is a trusted energy. You know you'll do your part and your colleague will do theirs. The product is solid and we have a "product-led" mindset across the board. This leads to good processes and documentation. The company is growing and there are many processes that we need to improve or build. I see it as an opportunity and a great moment to be in the company.

Cons

Diversity and inclusion. The team is aware of it and there are many things being done already - recruiting and affinity groups, for instance. I'm confident we're on the right track.

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing 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.
