Pros

The product has a really good vision and roadmap. Our new CTO’s vision Is something that the company has been needing for awhile.

Cons

As someone who’s been here for a little while, it’s incredibly sad to see what’s happening MongoDB sales. Once a place that was the best in the industry for a long time to build your career and make money, it has grind to a halt on both of those things. The quotas that they have set ensure that no one in a trusted position is going to make money. We are already below market race, but this year it has changed drastically and there is undeniable dissatisfaction from all the reps who are speaking to each other about it. I see a lot of the more tenured reps, in particular, making the decision to move on soon if some of this isn’t fixed. What makes it worse? Is there is almost a deniability that this is an issue. Instead people are asked to just believe when there is clearly a massive issue around rewarding reps. This is got progressively worse but this year it has jumped to another level.

Pros

Good pay Unlimited PTO Work from home Everybody has been extremely kind and helpful No feeling of competitiveness with each other Extensive training and learning opportunities Realistic goals and KPIs Well stocked food and drinks at the main offices No micromanagement Plenty of help from people whenever you need it Everyone you work with knows their sh*t, ie very smart Very cool and accepting company culture that values who you are, but values what you can do more, in a good way Plenty of room for growth and advancement Company laptop actually has enough RAM and is a newer model TBH I thought the VP over my dept was a tech bro until I realised he really knew what he was talking about, actually listened to feedback, and used it. I was pleasantly surprised. During company all-hands they take live questions that are meaningful and actually answer them to a real degree. Less corporate-speak than most places I've been at. Didn't shy away from or punt difficult questions. I feel happy working here, I don't dread going to work, and enjoy my co-workers. I feel valued, compensated, and like I've been given a realistic opportunity to succeed without being fed into the fire. I worked for years at one of the largest cloud companies and would much rather be here than there.

Cons

Had to go on a week long training trip to NYC with only one paycheck, which was hard to budget for. (They reimbursed expenses) RSUs are a pretty big part of pay package and pay out quarterly, but only after a year. Not bad once it starts, just harder the first year. I'm considered a "flex" employee because there's a wework office in town with 2 desks for 20 employees in town. So in reality fully remote, but the flex designation means they don't reimburse for internet/phone/office supplies, which I mean... meh. I'd still rather be remote just feels like a loophole.
