Pros

Great remote onboarding. They make an effort to ensure you get connected to everyone and understand the products.

Cons

Once you’re out of onboarding, get ready for the fire hose. And don’t expect to make grand process change. They are stuck in their inefficiency and seem fine with it. You’ll be too busy reminding people to review documents to spend time on problems that would create actual value. I’m surprised developers don’t completely run the place (maybe that would be better). There’s a cult mentality in the company. If you are a developer and / or a prior intern who started here and worked your way up, you’re tops. If you’re a program manager, there is a limit to how far you can grow here. The product team needs serious help and are not pulling their weight. Oh and whatever amazing culture they had being a scrappy company has been lost; Amazon execs took over C-Suite.

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.
