Pros

Great product, seen as a must-have

Cons

-Problematic, pathetically disorganized, and out of touch senior leaders -Woefully underpaid compared to the market and the amount of work that is put on your plate -Sinking ship where you'll spend most of your time in pointless meetings -You are measured by how much the sales team likes you

Pros

1. Competitive, cut-throat environment 2. Epitome of the "Peter Principle" 3. Management knows "ABOUT" what you do, not "HOW" and what is required to perform your tasks. 4. If you excel early in your MongoDB career, your accounts will be assumed by a more senior (Principle or Master) SA as you do not know what you doing (it must have been luck you landed this big account) leaving you bewildered and questioning yourself. 5. They leave you alone -- there is a lot of cronyism, you will be ignored until it is time to get thrown under the bus

Cons

1. "Say one thing, do something else" mode of operations 2. Very few women acts as SA's -- cronyism 3. Very few African Americans -- cronyism, God forbid you marry one and they find out, bi-racial is even worse. 4. No Veterans -- cronyism (Don't have a disability) 5. "Good Ole Boy" Sales Management team" NOBODY is over the age of 40 6. Given MongoDB's place in the industry, low salary and lower commissions

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback; we respect your concerns and take them seriously. We are committed to our company value “Build Together” and creating and supporting a positive, inclusive, and accepting environment. Diversity and inclusion is important to us, and we have multiple D&I strategies with the objective of increasing representation of underrepresented groups, including race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation, at every level and across every team. While we do have high expectations of all of our employees, we also actively encourage a work/life balance and establish a clear operating rhythm that supports both. Our flexible PTO ethos is applied globally to ensure employees take time to refresh, relax, and unwind. In regard to cronyism, our sales culture is focused on merit-based career growth. Many of our managers were previously successful sellers at MongoDB and are excited to teach, coach, and develop others in their footsteps. Continuing to develop our people to be even better managers is a top priority for us. We also remain highly committed to developing and progressing all of our employees' careers and we reward achievement through both commission and equity (as well as competitive base salary). Feedback is a key part of improving our organization. If you would be open to sharing more, please reach out to your People Partner or email Jess Katz, our Senior Employer Brand Manager, at jess.katz@mongodb.com.
