Pros

I've been with MongoDB in the London office for just under two years now, and I can safely say there is no other opportunity, money or company that could convince me to leave. A few reasons why in my humble opinion: 1, MongoDB has the best leadership team hands down in the software industry. From a development, track record, and real genuine people perspective. 2, Incredible Market/Product opportunity - MongoDB is quickly disrupting the largest addressable market in software - Database. 3, Hyper-Growth and Hyper-opportunity. 100% Y/Y growth with a culture of promoting from with and giving people opportunities based on merit and not status or tenure. 4, Incredible culture - start-up vibe, fast-paced, agile, sales-led, no egos or politics, open, collaborative, honest and high integrity. 5, Rewarding environment. Real visibility to make an impact and be recognised financially and professionally.

Cons

No cons except for a comment that this is an opportunity to push and challenge yourself to the next level of your career. There is high reward but it comes with hard work. Not an environment for those looking to coast.

Pros

If you are a salesperson looking for a fast-paced job in an industry that is moving and evolving at record speeds then Mongo may be the place for you. I have been in the company for less than 6 months and I can honestly say that I have learned more during my time here than in my previous 5 years in sales. It is super clear to see that Mongo's growth and success is powered by their massive focus on finding the right people and developing them the right way. Development is driven by every tier of leadership from pipeline generation to first meeting excellence, to C-level engagement, to deal progression no stone is left unturned to ensure you are planned, prepared and ready to take on enterprise customers and be successful. The UK team is made up of a great bunch of people from diverse selling backgrounds, most are 2nd or 3rd jobbers with some healthy years of enterprise sales or similar under their belt. The atmosphere in the office, team meetings and events is collaborative and fun. I am at the younger end of the scale and everyone has given me the support I need to ramp quickly. The real secret sauce of this business is the leadership, from very early on in the interview stages you will come across leaders who really know their way around the software industry, and for those who want to work for it, are ready to tool you to be successful for the remainder of your career at MongoDB and beyond.

Cons

As I mentioned above this business is like a freight train, the market opportunity is staggering and MongoDB is leading the charge. This brings with it a lot of expectation for new sales employees, the expectation to ramp quickly with regards to the technology and sales process and expectation to get wide into your accounts quickly. You will be given the right help and support to do this, but realistically you need to put in a lot of work, if you are not willing to work for it then this place is not for you. My advice to candidates who are loking to apply is to ask yourself where you are in your career: 1) Do you enjoy clocking off at 5, working from home 4 days a week, getting in 9 holes of golf late afternoon on a Friday..... look elsewhere... or 2) Do you feel like you are currently not challenged at work, you aren't working to your full capable capacity and you are wasting weeks and months in the same sales role with limited upward movement and uninteresting technology AND you think you have what it takes.
