Pros

*Very good product and developers love it *Growing company and shares *Very capable executive team *If you work in the right territory supported by the right people you`ll smash your numbers *Flat hierarchy, access to experienced executives to learn from *Coaching culture *You will get better at your job, whatever it is.

Cons

*"it's not for everyone" has been repeated many times. Management usually says this when they don't want recognize a problem, even when you demonstrate what you are saying supported by data. *hard culture, you will be always doing something wrong and it's your fault. You'll discover this during QBRs *Not intellectually honest, one size fits all mentality *Sales treated like BDRs, zero creativity, my way or the highway *Former reps are considered better managers *Very young people and managers easier to shape and silence

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We appreciate the highlights you mentioned and also respect your concerns and take them seriously. We base the majority of how we adapt and improve as an organization through seeking consistent feedback via 1:1s, Engagement Surveys, Quarterly Reviews, and more. Our goal is for everyone’s voice and opinion to be heard and respected and for all ideas and viewpoints to be considered. We are deeply committed to our value “Freedom to Create” and giving employees the opportunity to take risks, try new things, and own what they do. It is true that we have high expectations of our employees and a culture of self-improvement. We recognize that this culture is not for everyone and it takes consistent hard work to master our sales process, but we are committed to helping employees develop these skills and become the best they can be. Management and leadership development also are areas we will focus on and will continue to focus on in the coming year as we continue to scale. We are committed to promoting from within and developing our future leaders in order to cultivate a supportive, high-growth, and inclusive culture where employees can thrive.

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.
