Pros

The product is great and the market vitality is solid. Some of the frontline managers were solid.

Cons

Leadership harasses women. I witnessed multiple examples of men in leadership advantaging their position to harass and coerce women into sexual relationships. One woman on the sales team, who was in an intimate relationship with a senior leader, was called "the power broker" on the team by our VP. If you wanted good accounts, you had to find a way to become a favorite, and it was clear from multiple angles that if you were a woman, one of the angles was providing inappropriate attention to male executives. There are separate HR teams for ICs vs Leaders. When harassment is reporting, there is NO accountability for the leaders. The company will do whatever it takes to get rid of people who don't fall in line and sweep their disgusting culture under the rug. Do not under any circumstances join this company.

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.
