Pros

MongoDB is a great product. There are plenty of engineers who love it and prioritize it as a tool for all new applications. There is a super high earnings potential here, complemented by a great competitive sales culture. Here, good inputs get rewarded with better opportunities, which isn't true of many sales roles.

Cons

Not all, but many leaders tend to micromanage. There is poor (no) training for new roles when you get internally promoted from one IC role to another. Selling on consumption instead of on commitment leads to significantly longer runways to make money, but if you stick around and hit a hot streak with a key account you can have historic years.

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

Remote work and decent pay

Cons

Really depends on the team, however middle management needs to be addressed. Toxic culture that truly depends on who your manager is. Silent layoffs are made to seem "Performance-based", then job is re-posted at a reduced range. Proceed with caution and understand that HR is not your friend.
