Pros

Coming from a pretty challenging web dev shop, the difference in culture and workload is pretty noticeable. Standups only a couple times a week versus every morning, with plenty of space (and trust) from your team to get your work done. There is a culture that is generally supportive/aware of psychological health and mindful of it in daily interactions. Pay is pretty good too, especially for remote roles. Ramp up times are slower and generally forgiving, especially if you are new to the MongoDB ecosystem. They have the process almost down to a science.

Cons

Knowledge gained in certain roles at MongoDB may feel highly specific and non-transferable at times. It is going to take extra work to make sure you stay relevant in the job market by using the very specific skills you gain at work (which will be many) to keep your other skills sharp.

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.
