Pros

Great team, really collaborative, lots of smart people. Product really works. Comp package is pretty competitive. Full of great challenges. Opportunity to make a difference is enormous.

Cons

Company facing a lot of fairly standard growth challenges. Moving from 150 to 300 people is a big change for any organisation. There have been a few mis teps but I think the intellectual firepower available to us is more than equal to the measure of those challenges.

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.
