Pros

The management and teams are very respectful, friendly, and accommodating. You are given three months to go into deep learning when you start. There is no pressure placed on you to be instantly productive. Mistakes are reviewed in a blameless fashion. You can make mistakes and not be punished. They really just want you to grow. They are working with a lot of the best tools that will look good for your resume. Fantastic compensation and benefits. I only left because the work role just didn't fit me personally. I probably should have stayed longer and tried to find another role.

Cons

I'm not sure there are any cons for the company itself. Every company will have some people who don't match well personality-wise but I experienced very few people hard to work with. The engineering work is very technical and mongodb is a complex database. Be sure the work is what you want.

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.
