Pros

I consult with customers who are generally new to MongoDB, or they are quite experienced in the database, but have never looked into Realm or Charts. There is so much to be explored there and so many benefits from creating integrated applications that it is still very much a joy to show to so many customers the possibilities.

Cons

The downside is that we are very busy. And we have grown into a much bigger company. Internally there are people who do not even know what a consulting engineer does. Then there are people who do not realize that you spend your days in front of a customer or working for them. You have to be quick at managing expectations.

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)
