Business Outlook
Pros
Lots of nice people who take pride in teamwork and like to help others. Minimal political intrigue. Not a cutthroat environment. Main product is a database. Companies stick with the same tech stack for a long time (too long), MDB will be in business for a long time.
Cons
Too many executives in the biggest job they've ever had and are in way over their heads trying to run an enterprise company. Over-promoted middle managers who don't know what they don't know and allergic to change. Homegrown systems and processes haven't scaled and many groups are behind on industry practices. Collaborative culture has big benefits but at the big price of micromanagenent, too many cooks in the kitchen, and hazy accountability.
