Pros

There are so many things at 10gen that are either very interesting to work on, or just brand new technology. The co-workers are friendly and the management is easy to approach. The technical knowledge is shared by the whole company (including marketing and sales).

Cons

As a startup, things can sometimes be a bit chaotic with directions changing a bit more often than I'd like. This has however already been getting better and I assume it will improve in the near future.

Pros

Bright intelligent group of people in engineering

Cons

Very immature, clique-y management and work environment. Hostile and bigoted. The will tell you that you'll get paid, but then you have to fight for it. I had thousands of dollars on my personal credit card that they would reimburse. They should have corporate cards for people who travel a lot.

Fast growth provides challenges

Pros

There are so many things that need to be done with the high growth rate of the company that nobody is pigeon-holed in just one place or one just one type of job. Flexible hours and vacation are great but underused by many. People are happy to hear your ideas, and discuss them; as an open source company there is no limitation to what you can do on the internet with mongodb.

Cons

Like any growing company there are more challenges along the way, and these include: lack of organization responsibilities, definition, and roles, trouble with building effective communication channels internally (betweens groups and depts), lots of new employees which need to learn/train before being effective, holding work quality high, professionalism, over-worked and under-acknowledged employees, as well as providing structure for professional growth internally.
