Pros

Great opportunity to learn more or refine existing skills. There is a lot of investment in programs/trainings that allows employees to grow. You can come in with a career plan and flourish, or even if you are unsure, if you're an interested, thoughtful person, you will see your abilities and confidence grow and your career will thrive as a result. I saw a lot of career growth here, even passively without a particular aim; by getting involved in projects that interested me, and being encouraged to tackle new challenges. The company has handled the pandemic really well. You could tell employee safety was a priority as we promptly required remote working in the beginning of the pandemic. Now we have accommodations for those who prefer to continue working from home, and those who prefer to return to the office. The company culture is one that fosters a good work life balance, and camaraderie. There are a lot of events, groups, newsletters - ways to stay connected with others globally. There are many, MANY different recognitions programs as well so people feel valued and celebrated.

Cons

No job is perfect, and everyone will have a day where they don't like their job - but for me these days are few and rare and there is no major issue that needs to be addressed.

Pros

Smart coworkers, fun projects. At the time it still felt like small enough of a company to know people. It's truly an inflection point of my career to work there.

Cons

Not a lot of office perks compared to other big tech companies.

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.
