Fast-paced, balanced culture

Pros

This company is heavily devoted to uncovering, gaining, & retaining top talent in the industry to propel it's fast-paced expansion goals! The fact that they have been able to maintain such a fun, tight-knit "start-up culture" through the massive growth is amazing. The executive team is inspiring, agile, and personable... but even aside from the top level, it is an overall extremely friendly and intelligent team of individuals.

Cons

If you don't do well with rapid change, this would not be the place for you. The NYC HQ office location is also not totally ideal in Times Square.

Thanks so much for your review! It's great to know our dedication to building an unparalleled team across the globe is not going unnoticed. We truly believe our people are our biggest asset, and we strive to ensure everyone at MongoDB is getting the most out of their time here. When it comes to growth, change is inevitable, but we will do all we can to maintain our, as you so eloquently put it, "familial culture."

The company is continuing to grow quickly and has high expectations for it's employees. If you want to be challenged and have fun this is a great place to be.

Reaching another level and beyond

Pros

MongoDB definitely has built a very specific culture and it has permeated all areas of the organisation. Everyone here feels as though they are part of the bigger mission regardless of department and it shows in how they treat one another and the excitement in each office. NoSQL solutions have matured a lot in the past 2 years and now can compete/replace a lot of legacy systems/use cases. MongoDB leads this pack. Training is the best I've ever seen and they also invest a lot into each employee to be successful. If you are interviewing think hard if the culture is a good fit for you personally. Double if you are in sales or are customer facing in some facet.

Cons

Company is growing at an incredible rate, there is a bit of chaos associated with it. A lot is expected.
