Pros

-Perks (unlimited vacation, free lunch, stocked kitchens) -Amazing Office (pool table, ping pong, basketball, standing desks, scooters, etc) -Great Benefits -A lot of office activities -Employees are really smart and motivated, which makes for a great work environment -Breaks are encouraged and everyone eats lunch together, which helps bridge gaps between departments

Cons

I honestly cannot think of too many negative things about MongoDB. Some people find the location of the office (Times Square) to be a bit annoying...but it's a small price to pay in my opinion.

Pros

The technology is transforming the industry. Customers and community members love using MongoDB. There are interesting problems to solve across the organization (engineering, sales, marketing, etc.) and smart, collaborative people working on them. I am always learning something new here. The company is growing quickly and there are opportunities for career advancement and expansion of responsibilities. The work environment is also high-energy and fun, and teams enjoy socializing together.

Cons

We're growing quickly and things move fast, so you have to be adaptable. The standards are high and you have to be prepared for 100% accountability.

Pros

Effective, easy to use, low cost open source database. Went to first MongWorld and was clear that MANY customers LOVE the product and are doing powerful things with the database. New York office seemed to have pretty good morale. Think there is potential for a healthy business model, but will just take some time given the nature of open source. Great office locations in Manhattan and downtown Palo Alto.

Cons

Dual headquarters (NY & Palo Alto) did not really work. Ended with Palo Alto office being more of a satellite rather than a second HQ. New executive leadership is more traditional enterprise software - will be interesting to see over time how it mixes with the founding open source culture.
