Pros

The technology is transforming the industry. Customers and community members love using MongoDB. There are interesting problems to solve across the organization (engineering, sales, marketing, etc.) and smart, collaborative people working on them. I am always learning something new here. The company is growing quickly and there are opportunities for career advancement and expansion of responsibilities. The work environment is also high-energy and fun, and teams enjoy socializing together.

Cons

We're growing quickly and things move fast, so you have to be adaptable. The standards are high and you have to be prepared for 100% accountability.

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.
