Pros

- Sharp co-workers; our hiring bar has remained fairly consistent - Large addressable market, as many analysts are fond of pointing out - Strong technology; Mongo is a proven quantity with world class applications built on top of it - Good product direction/roadmap; this is not a stagnant org lacking vision - Access to RSUs & ESPP, especially with recent upward stock movements - Health Benefits - Unlimited PTO - Diversity appears to be a meaningful company priority, which is laudable

Cons

This is a company that is sharply divided between Sales/Marketing/CS and everyone else (e.g. Eng, Product, etc.). The former has an expectation of high rates of attrition, with lower salaries, equity, and commensurate turnover. It is short-sighted and leaves many feeling they do not have a viable career path at Mongo. I believe there is significant under-investment in customer facing roles as we are not perceived as core value additive and aligned with the shareholder value model that dominates. This narrow-mindedness means we lose some of our most talented individuals to more forward thinking organizations with less conservative tendencies. Coupled with below market pay and conflicting/overlapping direction/OKRs means we often function in a shambolic manner, unable to achieve excellence across the board.

Pros

Amazing place to grow as a salesperson. If you're looking for a company in which you can learn more about sales, nail down the basics, and have focus on your sales development. This is the place to be.

Cons

Even when you're doing well it's hard to feel successful. There's never a point in which you're doing good. Very strict process. It's growing so fast right now that it's like you're fighting for good accounts.
