Pros

People here are super intelligent and friendly, and they respect your professional skills. I never got a No of any favor asking, and I learned so much from them. The teams have a great process and keep iterating on it. As a designer, I care a lot about ownership. One of MongoDB's values is "own what you do" which can be strongly felt. Collaboration and teamwork are my favorite part. Not only within your team but a lot of opportunities with people outside your regular teams - lots of activities like an internal hackathon, game week, lunch & learn, social time, and group learning opportunities. It's growing globally and it's a brand you can talk about with pride.

Cons

Since the company grows so fast, every team will spend significant time on interviews and onboarding new members. Finding the right people is not easy. Also, the title and compensation system might not work as mature as FANNG (or MATE?). If you work on some complex product lines or projects, you might experience some politics (which is not bad if you are good at it).

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

Remote work and decent pay

Cons

Really depends on the team, however middle management needs to be addressed. Toxic culture that truly depends on who your manager is. Silent layoffs are made to seem "Performance-based", then job is re-posted at a reduced range. Proceed with caution and understand that HR is not your friend.
