SALES REPS BEWARE. Totally toxi.

CEO approval

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.
