      Pros

      Talented folks on the team, awesome CEO Good future potential for becoming a big company with a very important technology Great valuation progress if you have a meaningful stock option grant

      Cons

      The company feels much too top heavy for this size of company with 3 "Chairmen/Vice Chairman", a CEO and a CTO/Co-Founder who kind of acts like another Chairman/CEO NY/CA co-HQ is not ideal - it is a way to get a little better talent maybe for a few positions early on but I think may have caused more harm than helped Because the company is high-profile, they are attracting talent that has done the same jobs (or bigger jobs before) before so opportunities for advancement for others are quite limited for those already here except more junior promotions The culture includes vocal complaining by various folks about the smallest of issues

      Pros

      Amazing world-class colleagues. Great, open and transparent culture. People love technology and it is a great opportunity to learn not only about MongoDB, but about databases and distributed systems in general. Your colleagues have deep experience in various areas of software it is an amazing place to learn. The product is very promising, although it does have its shortcomings as it is still relatively early in its life cycle. Twice a week lunch orders from seamless and the fridge stocked with beer and food are awesome!

      Cons

      Workload can be overwhelming, but that is a good problem to have as the customer base is growing. Unlimited paid vacation sounds great but leads to burnout in practice as most people don't avail of it. Top heavy management structure. Too many VPs, directors and managers, compared to the number of rank and file employees. Disproportionate amount of politics for a company this size, probably due to the top-heavy management structure.

      Pros

      Great team of very smart people and an exciting environment to work in with a great product. Decent compensation packages and some focus on work life balance

      Cons

      Long hours and expected to work out of hours. Benefits package is the bare minimum, could do with improving. Highly changeable environment which can cause some uncertainty in certain areas of the business.
