Pros

MongoDB has always been quick to pivot on sales strategies and genuinely seek honest feedback from sales team as to how things can improve. Resources are always made available if you can make a case for them. Compensation is above average.

Cons

Product can be a difficult sale. The open source version is so rock solid and universally loved that it can be near-impossible to convince even the most avid users to pay for enterprise features. Constant back and forth between sales and engineering exec team on which features should be made free for greater adoption and which should move to enterprise to actually make money. Many members of management come from the same 1-2 companies so the culture is very similar to former companies and hiring tends to focus on former employees as well.

Pros

Sales & marketing is firing on all cylinders. New executive leadership seems to know what they're doing and they're driving some really positive changes. There's also been an increase in transparency, which a lot of people appreciate. The company is maturing and growing at a time when a lot of companies in a related space are floundering.

Cons

Engineering black box Product deficiencies that are pushed out a year or more Tightening of budget which affect comp

Sales team is disposable

Pros

Everyone wants to hear about the company and the technology, interest is incredible and the technology can actually deliver.

Cons

Huge turnover, no consideration for remote employees and no trust either. Your report is more important than your actions. People can be rude to each other. Also, there's very few differentiators in the commercial version. The conversion rate is extremely low, so targets are tough to achieve.
