Pros

MongoDB is still in start up mode so things move quickly, decisions are made fast, very little red tape. Amazing people, everyone is super smart, hard working, and very passionate about MongoDB. The opportunity for massive market share is palpable. Working for an open-source company is rewarding and exciting. The NYC tech scene is awesome and MongoDB is the pillar of the community. All the "sweet" perks of a tech company (food/unlimited vacation, flexible work schedule, etc).

Cons

Sometimes the environment is sink or swim and after a while treading water gets tough. Lots of change in the past 6 months can make the ride feel like a roller coaster. Internal communication can be all over the place.

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.
