Pros

Company that really lives the culture that it espouses. Flexible, friendly work environment with every day new and interesting challenges are faced. This is a company where you are constantly learning. MongoDB is passionate about supporting its employees and personal/professional development. Transparent management and a non-hierarchical structure - everyone is approachable and intellectually honest (one of the company's core values). Oh and all of course all of the free snacks, lunches and opportunity to travel.

Cons

Very little honestly - perhaps the fact that since this is a very global company it can be hard to sync up with people in different time-zones, but this isn't MongoDB's fault!

Pros

Great culture, great location, great people. Free lunch twice a week, fitness classes on site, unlimited time off. It's awesome!

Cons

The only suggestion for making the company better would be to implement a company match on employee 401k contributions. Not much else to ask for!

Pros

- Phenomenal Sales Team: Best in the industry sales team. - Investment in new hires: The amount of training to new hires is fantastic. - Culture: MongoDB did an excellent job of making every employee feel like part of the mission of making this company successful. - Market leadership: There are a lot of NoSQL DBs out there, but MongoDB is the clear leader, and it is positioning itself as the NoSQL standard in most large enterprises.

Cons

- Growth rate causes some chaos at times - There is a lot to do, prioritization can be challenging
