Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We respect your concerns and take them seriously. Our sales culture is meritocratic and focused on integrity, growth, and development. We recognize that our culture may not be for everyone, but we are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive culture for all of our team members. In regard to honesty, we are deeply committed to our company value “Be Intellectually Honest” and respecting everyone’s opinions and viewpoints. Our sales process is constantly evolving and refined based on years of research and data. It proves to deliver consistent success, but we acknowledge this requires consistent hard work to master. While we do have high expectations of all of our employees, we don’t expect that to come at the expense of one’s personal life. Our leadership team is invested in supporting rep work-life blend, and retaining top talent while helping reps avoid burnout is a top priority. We encourage reps to take regular PTO throughout the year. If you would be open to sharing more, please reach out to your designated HRBP or email our Senior Employer Brand Manager, Jess Katz, 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.
