Pros

Great product to a technical audience

Cons

You used to be able to make a lot of money here before they changed the entire comp structure for 2023. Unfortunately, success is completely now based on your patch which has to be earned. Can’t get any accounts that will get you close to your quota if you haven’t been there for at least a year. The managers vary greatly from team to team and there’s lack of consistency with the role and the expectations. Most EAEs are basically just glorified SDRs till you are 6 months to 1 year out of ramp. The comp is also below industry average, and can vary team from team. Base pay for EAEs with same quota and experience can differ. No one interacts with sales team that’s siloed on their own floor. Wish I had seen the office before I joined to realize how big the egos of this team were. The people I met in the interviews sold me the world, but that was not my experience in the office. I should have asked to see what it was really like and meet the the other teams.

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.
