Business Outlook

Pros

- Extremely competitive salary and benefits - Hyper growth company with many internal growth opportunities - Very strong product - Cultural sweet-spot between hyper-growth "startup" and multinational company - If proactive, a lot of extra-work projects and opportunities - Mentorship available and strong leadership team - Fast learning curve - Travels - Achievable targets if hard-work is the base

Cons

- If not coming from a tech environment, the product ecosystem is not easy to learn at the beginning but there are a lot of resources to get up to speed with it - Some processes are not perfectly defined but it's also an advantage if you like to put your own flavour to these processes

Business Outlook

Pros

Growing company, the open source database speaks for itself. Seamless twice a week.

Cons

The sales org at MongoDB is a 'me too' movement waiting to happen. Zero diversity and they use fear internally to motivate. There is absolutely zero culture. Forced "happy hours" are awkward and there is no work life balance. People come early and stay late to appear like they are putting in work. Extremely low base salary in the software industry that is non negotiable. Difficult to sell an open source database platform. Total chop shop - SALES PEOPLE BEWARE.

Product reputation in market. Working with Class-A Leadership (CEO Dev Ittycheria , CFO Michael Gordon & CTO/Co-Founder Eliot Horowitz).

The Training and Expectations of Sellers are high - perfect to advance your career and become employable anywhere.

Cons

Package (Comp/Salary) not as competitive as other tech vendors in the market & industry. Employee stock-plan is good.
