Pros

Global brand recognition Great tools, infrastructure, and global support systems Exposure to high-quality cross-functional collaboration (outside India)

Cons

India Workplace Operations and Employee Experience Team are a hotbed of internal politics, favoritism, and unethical behavior Certain individuals operate with unchecked power, driving personal agendas instead of team goals Creating chaos, friction, and ego-fueled dynamics Sensitive employee matters were gossiped about with vendors, guards, and other teams—completely violating trust and professionalism Multiple employees and vendors confirmed these conversations, yet leadership stayed silent Security personnel were pressured to support false narratives, then conveniently removed from the system Office assets were misused and quietly sold under the radar of senior leadership Team environment thrives on backstabbing, manipulation, and blame-shifting—not collaboration Mental health and inclusion are promoted externally, but absolutely not practiced internally in the India workplace team

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.
