Pros

MongoDB is an awesome company to work for. It feels like a family on a mission – a good mission! The people are really smart and helpful. The diversity is great; there are individuals from various backgrounds and all over the world. The company's culture is fantastic – the core values are genuinely present in day-to-day activities, and everyone, from the board to individual contributors, applies them.

Cons

It is not easy to get in, they really hire the best.

Pros

Great remote onboarding. They make an effort to ensure you get connected to everyone and understand the products.

Cons

Once you’re out of onboarding, get ready for the fire hose. And don’t expect to make grand process change. They are stuck in their inefficiency and seem fine with it. You’ll be too busy reminding people to review documents to spend time on problems that would create actual value. I’m surprised developers don’t completely run the place (maybe that would be better). There’s a cult mentality in the company. If you are a developer and / or a prior intern who started here and worked your way up, you’re tops. If you’re a program manager, there is a limit to how far you can grow here. The product team needs serious help and are not pulling their weight. Oh and whatever amazing culture they had being a scrappy company has been lost; Amazon execs took over C-Suite.

Pros

1. A small number of employees were genuinly wonderful people.

Cons

1. Extremely toxic working environment 2. Political drama in the extreme. Expect to have to watch your back at all times. 3. Leaders are chosen on their submission to the status quo. An environment this toxic enables only further toxicity to rise. Management is full of individuals who abuse the reporting structure to ensure only a subservient class of employee survives. Company culture is extremely toxic due to a high number of “fake it till you make it”VPs and directors. These individuals care only about their appearance to their own management and ignore their apparent duties, abusing the power dyamic between themselves and team members.
