Pros

MongoDB has always been quick to pivot on sales strategies and genuinely seek honest feedback from sales team as to how things can improve. Resources are always made available if you can make a case for them. Compensation is above average.

Cons

Product can be a difficult sale. The open source version is so rock solid and universally loved that it can be near-impossible to convince even the most avid users to pay for enterprise features. Constant back and forth between sales and engineering exec team on which features should be made free for greater adoption and which should move to enterprise to actually make money. Many members of management come from the same 1-2 companies so the culture is very similar to former companies and hiring tends to focus on former employees as well.

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.
