Pros

If you can sell at Mongo, you can sell anywhere else Opportunities for growth within company if you get lucky and put on top accounts Product is great

Cons

Second line managers are completely out of sync with the work done by SDRs Comp plan results in no incentive to overachieve Accounts are decided without reasoning. Some SDRs are lucky and are on direct path to promo in the shortest time, others aren't as lucky and will get laid off because they were in a position to fail. The company used to be good but now you're working hard for one of the worst comp plans in the industry

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)
