Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We take the concerns of all employees seriously. MongoDB is committed to building a diverse organization and fostering a culture of inclusion: “Embrace the power of difference” is one of our core values, and we recognize that every individual has their own unique perspectives and experiences that make them who they are. Our goal is to continue building MongoDB as a diverse, equitable, and inclusive company, and we’ve recently hired a Head of Inclusion to oversee MongoDB’s investment in initiatives and programming that support equity and inclusion. We continiously strive to increase the representation of women and nonbinary individuals in sales roles. Within our Sales organization, we have made consistent progress increasing the percentage of women in the org, while building a culture of inclusion among Sales leaders. Our Sell Like a Girl affinity group, founded by women in Sales leadership back in 2020 and sponsored by our CRO, is another source of impact. The group aims to make MongoDB a top employer for people who identify as women in Sales by supporting the recruitment process of women candidates and retention of women sales executives through support, leadership development, and mentorship. Read more about Sell Like a Girl here: https://www.builtinaustin.com/2021/10/14/meet-company-closing-gender-gap-tech-sales. Our Sales culture is meritocratic, and this should be experienced by all members of our Sales org, regardless of gender identity. Please contact MongoDB’s Employee Experience team at employeeexperience@mongodb.com if you would like to discuss your experience in more depth. The more details we have, the better we can help address issues.

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.
