Pros

* Leadership is rock solid * MongoDB is rapidly gaining market share and developer mindset * The product roadmap is exciting with lots of great learning opportunities * Smart people work here

Cons

The biggest issue is that MongoDB is they are no longer a startup. In fact they are a very mature company compared to what they were even 5 years ago. Pains with this now can be seen in slow moving internal processes and having to deal with the "multiple chefs in the ktichen" problem e.g. so many people are now involved in making decisions and have opinions on features/functionality that things move really slow. That said it isn't unique to MongoDB, I would think most companies of this size (over 5,000 employees) have these issues.

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)

Pros

Remote work and decent pay

Cons

Really depends on the team, however middle management needs to be addressed. Toxic culture that truly depends on who your manager is. Silent layoffs are made to seem "Performance-based", then job is re-posted at a reduced range. Proceed with caution and understand that HR is not your friend.
