      Immaturity at key exec levels and bad case of founderitis

      Principal product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great technology, developer and market adoption and market leadership. Product is very easy to install and configure for basic use cases but needs to mature to meet claims of trud web scalability.

      Cons

      Exec positions are somewhat of a clique, most being filled by former MarkLogic execs. They seem to be making some of the same missteps at MongoDB. Also, product direction is set exclusively by the founder and current CTO. Senior level product managers will have a very difficult time making an impact and will spend most of their time on junior level activities. Also, despite claim of being supportive of remote employees, the culture is not conducive for those working outside of the New York office, specifically when it comes to key business areas such as product management and development.

      Be wary of MongoDB

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fast growing space. Several fast growing companies in this space.

      Cons

      * CEO and other C level people have their inner circle of people from past lives. If you are one of them you will be taken care of. If you are not you will be under-compensated and under-appreciated. ** The company hires mostly straight out of college grads with very little other work experience. The company does a great job of "internal branding and marketing" and creating hype giving the illusion of a great company. If you dig a little deeper you will find the hype that is portrayed is not reality.

      Not perfect, but pretty darn close

      Sales/marketing

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Generous, good people that work hard, expect much but are also kind. Leader in a market that is transforming how data is managed. Great story behind the company. Makes it easy to explain what we do, and why. Salary and benefits are solid, though not overwhelmingly so. Highly ambitious company vision.

      Cons

      Far enough along that the stock grants are not stratospheric. (Still, assuming the company matches its ambition, any amount of stock is worthwhile here.) Some areas of the company stronger than others in terms of personnel, though all areas are constantly upgrading.
