MongoDB Reviews

Not a great experience, some leaders are very disrespectful and do not communicate expectation and yet expect you to know it all. After a point I felt it got more personal than the job I did and skills. I was bullied by senior leadership. Some of them are rude and shame you in larger meetings. I was constantly questioned. After few month in - I lost confidence on myself and starting doubting myself hence my performance de-graded. As soon as I was let go suddenly my life got happier and I gained my confidence back and started to learn and grow again in right direction. I wanted to resign as they made my life hell. Harsh Truth

MongoDB is successfully hitting targets so far, in a difficult market, against some very big incumbents. It has a lot of very good hires, which, with the rate of head count growth, is no mean feat. The sustained volume of hiring we have every month is an eye opener. The individual experience and knowledge in some teams is fantastic, especially the technical services team, which is globally strong. The technology is there, and the product is delivering results. The open source route to customer adoption seems to be working well. In terms of how employees are treated, it's generally quite well, with good benefits. The RRSP (Canada) matching is nice too. We had a project to facilitate people to move to different locations and allow people to readjust due to the pandemic, which was generally well managed by the people team. The hiring process was great and the recruiter I was working with was honest and considerate and we were able to have open clear, open discussions during the hiring process itself. I have also referred people as well. On boarding is well fleshed out and detailed. You are given plenty of time to adjust and protected in the early months from too much work volume. New hire training is detailed and extensive. My manager has been an important factor in keeping me here. They have gone to bat for me on several occasions and have ultimately driven change in processes that have improved my teams quality of life here. My team mates are reliable, trustworthy and we've got each others back. This includes the team trying to help each other with work life balance and encouraging each of us to take breaks, finish on time and not get overworked. The hiring rate has also attempted to keep up with workload. This is especially challenging since the onboarding time is so long (great for new employees, especially ones like me with limited DB exposure), meaning planning needs to be many months ahead. Senior leadership regularly update the company and deliver a high level of information. They also field lots of difficult questions during meetings. The answers are not always that considerate, but the dialog is open and honest, which speaks to the nature of the relationship between leadership and staff.
