Pros

Good compensation, growth opportunities, good product. The top leadership is solid and driving the company in the right direction.

Cons

There is no work life balance. Expect to spend 10-12 hours everyday for work and sometimes on the weekends too and this affects the mental health. The leadership team has done a good job of giving some days off but the burnout is real. You have to decide whether you want this financial opportunity or physical and mental well being. Especially if you have a family with kids, its going to be really tough. You have unlimited PTO but you cant really use it. You have constant pressure to deliver and if you take time off , it piles up. I think it will be better to have fixed number of days for time off. You will hear that there are a bunch of benefits like spring health etc but let me tell you whatever it is you will go back to the same state because you have so much work pressure to deliver. Micromanagement is real. Beware if you are used to operating in an environment which is independent/has minimal supervision.

Pros

Great vibe, good people, competitive salary, great stock options. I work on the Charts team in Sydney and they're a fantastic, world class group of Software Developers. The rest of the office (and company!) carry a fantastic energy that make Fridays and all the get togethers all the more amazing. MongoDB has been an important part of my mental health journey and I am more than proud to work there. Free Headspace subscription is a great perk!

Cons

Missing a bit of that 'big company' structure, but really getting there. Some parts feel like a big company, some parts feel like a big, well run start up. Kind of hard to articulate.
