Pros

Up and coming company with an outstanding cast of characters. Starts with strong and committed leadership. Differentiated product in what's been a stale marketplace for decades. MongoDB is ready to capture market share at a rapid and long-term clip. Culture is one of accountability, camaraderie, support and excitement.

Cons

You can put in long hours if you don't pay attention to your time management. There is no pressure to work long hours... there is just so much to do. Work/life balance is promoted here, it can just be tough to pull it off at times.

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.
