Pros

Perfect combination of being sales forward and product forward company. MongoDB invests heavily (and wisely) into both. Highly accountable sales organization selling the best database technology in the market. Smart people at all levels. Feels like a once in a career opportunity and that my time here will be career defining

Cons

More internal politics as we get bigger. Very demanding, but you have to be to win in the market we're going after. Can be stressful, but it's worth it :)

Pros

Consistently growing company. Constantly evolving. Strong Cultural Values. Liberal autonomy. Massive opportunities for self-development and movement in the organization. Freedom to try and fail - to learn. No good idea is ever turned away. Everyone has a sense of ownership and responsibility

Cons

Keeping up with speed of change can be slightly challenging at times. Both product and organizational. However, the flexibility and responsiveness is part of our strength.
