Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback; we respect your concerns and take them seriously. Our sales process is constantly evolving and we do regularly review compensation plans and quotas to ensure incentives are aligned with the high-value and impactful work our Account Development Representatives do. Learning the ropes does require consistent hard work in order to master, especially during your first year at MongoDB. To help, we offer a comprehensive onboarding program for all new hires including a peer-buddy program, and our Sales team fosters excellence by providing ongoing industry-leading coaching, development, and enablement. We are excited to share that we have recently grown our Sales Development leadership team in Austin by 75% and are more focused on coaching than ever. MongoDB is also committed to Diversity & Inclusion to build a culture that embraces and values differences. Earlier last year, we created a company objective to increase representation, particularly at the leadership level. In addition, we launched our company-wide DI strategy focused on 4 pillars: People, Culture, Customers/Users and Community; and we launched Decoding Inclusion, an educational series aimed at building community and raising awareness of differences. In addition, we continue to ramp our diversity recruiting work through new external strategic partnerships to access talent from underrepresented communities.. We are continuously working to create a culture of growth, learning, and development. Feedback is a key part of this process. If you would be open to sharing more, send an email to our Jess Katz, our Employer Brand Manager at jess.katz@mongodb.com.

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing 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.
