Pros

Stock price and competitive salary

Cons

The culture was toxic (harsh words I am aware). I’ve never felt compelled to write a review before, I actually created a Glassdoor account just so that I could write this review. I am not one that has ever felt that company culture really contributed all that much to the job but in this case it absolutely did and it was the detriment. The sales culture is brutal, and I wasn’t even in sales, I just supported them. The leaders were sexist, demoralizing, and just not good people. Literally every All Hands meeting there would be at least one person who would anonymously inquire about sexual harassment and basically beg for the company to come up with a solution to prevent it...I wonder if that is still an issue there. Fortunately, I have moved on and am really happy at my new company and yet I still have nightmares of this place. Not even kidding.

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.
