Pros

Great work/life balance. Lots of talented people. Overall pretty stable. It's not the flashiest of tech companies, but it's worth the stability. They are very transparent about company goals and plans.

Cons

Management is all over the place and makes shifty moves based on emotion and assumptions towards whatever feels relevant to AI. These last minute shifts causes a waste of resources, leaving lots of good work that never get to see the light of day. Also tough to get promotions due to budgeting. Mission values don't align with management's POV; they encourage "taking risks" but never actually do it in fear of losing customer loyalty.

Pros

Smart coworkers, fun projects. At the time it still felt like small enough of a company to know people. It's truly an inflection point of my career to work there.

Cons

Not a lot of office perks compared to other big tech companies.

Pros

Most benefits are solid, exception being no matching 401K which is kind of insane for tech. Embraces the use of AI for all employees.

Cons

MongoDB is extremely dysfunctional from a marketing POV. The functional silos built a culture of no collaboration and just checking boxes of doing the same things over and over again. Leadership at the MLT level is out of their depth for what the business needs out of marketing to grow. There is arrogance encouraged by a bully CMO who has her favorites that can be held to different standards than others and it is abundantly clear. That attitude trickles down into all of MLT and never really offer solutions, just criticisms. Pay is lower than other companies for the same role. Lack of clarity of what it takes to get a promotion. Blatant disregard for Employee Engagement surveys that have been on a decline for years that leadership takes no ownership on improving.
