Pros

Good management team, solid commitment to diversity, brilliant and motivated co-workers, and an exciting company that's growing fast

Cons

Sometimes people focus on putting in long hours at their own expense; you'll feel pressure to do the same, but not from management (that I can tell).

Pros

Good money, but there is a price you pay for it.

Cons

Management was subpar. They promote from within and the people that are promoted are not qualified. When I interviewed people I was told to be hard on them and not really gauge how good of an architect they would be. After that I realized that I needed to leave. Sales teams are like used care salesmen. Slimy as you can get. The company loves the slimy staff. I had to get out of the slime to someplace that would succeed in the long run. I was able to get out after two years. The turn over rate is sky high. Don't believe them when they say the turn over is low. They are lying to you. The executives are micro managers - no real leaders in the company

Thanks for your feedback. We make a point to include a cross-section of managers from different levels in our interview process, as we believe that it's important for our senior people to know who and how are we hiring. Moreover, we do strongly believe in considering internal candidates for larger roles, as we want people to have a career, not just a job, at MongoDB. That being said, we always do a mix of external hires and internal promotions given how fast we are growing and to ensure that we attract and keep the best people in the industry. I'm sorry you had such a negative experience; we are constantly working to improve the culture of all of our different teams, and making sure all our teams, not just sales, acts with integrity (assuming that is the opposite of 'slimy'). While I take your feedback seriously, given our results and other candid feedback we receive (even on glassdoor) I'd like to believe your experience is the exception, and not the rule.
