Pros

Everyone I work with is incredibly smart and I can always rely on their expertise and professionalism. I enjoy coming to work and the challenges we face are exciting and engaging. The culture here is very laid back but hard-working. There is quite a difference between sales and engineering and everything in between. However, I feel that all employees are valued and are incentivized with very competitive compensation and benefits.

Cons

There are some people who want to cling to the small startup they originally joined 2 years ago and are frustrated with being held to public company-sized expectations. A lot is asked of employees here but on the whole, we are given what we need to be successful.

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.
