Pros

MongoDB is an exciting, fast paced, and growing company. The technical work is probably some of the most interesting out there, and my colleagues are intelligent and a pleasure to work with. The company emphasizes personal growth and cares about their employees' well being. This includes a genuine desire to do better with diversity. Over my 6 years here I have never been bored. I feel like the projects I contribute to are moving the needle for the quality of the product, and I can see the products getting better every day.

Cons

With mostly annual releases, sometimes the pace of change can feel slow. Processes sometimes drag on and robustness testing can be a productivity burden. The company still has a ways to go with diversity, as it seems every tech company does.

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.
