Pros
MongoDB is a growing company that employs a ton of smart people. Great opportunities to learn from experienced folks across the organization. Affinity groups make it possible to work with other like-minded folks toward common goals within the organization. Strong leadership with a growth mindset means MongoDB will continue to grow, providing new opportunities for its employees as well as competitive compensation and equity grants.
Cons
Like many fast-growing companies, some of MongoDB's processes and communication strategies have not scaled with the growth. It can be difficult to know who to talk to about something. MongoDB offers a lot of perks and programs for employees, but finding out about them isn't always timely. In a company this size, it's easy to feel siloed within your team and disconnected from what the rest of the company is doing. It would be nice to see more diversity in R&D and in leadership roles. The company works to actively engage with its employees via surveys, feedback, and in answering questions during all-hands meetings, but doesn't always do a good job of following up in response to those things after actions have been taken.
