Pros

Some really great people and a promising technology but terrible execution on the technical side of things and tons of pressure on the sales side.

Cons

If you are in sales and just want to collect a paycheck for your base salary, this is your place to work! I have never worked in a company that did not post stack rankings of the sales reps. Why would MongoDB do this? Because no one is making quota except a handful of people in New York who cover startups. The enterprise reps are making nothing and turnover is super high. Engineering is super dysfunctional. I work now for another open source company with half the number of people in engineering as MongoDB that gets twice the amount of work done. It is not that MongoDB doesn't have great people in engineering, they just don't know how to empower them and let them run.

Pros

The product has a really good vision and roadmap. Our new CTO’s vision Is something that the company has been needing for awhile.

Cons

As someone who’s been here for a little while, it’s incredibly sad to see what’s happening MongoDB sales. Once a place that was the best in the industry for a long time to build your career and make money, it has grind to a halt on both of those things. The quotas that they have set ensure that no one in a trusted position is going to make money. We are already below market race, but this year it has changed drastically and there is undeniable dissatisfaction from all the reps who are speaking to each other about it. I see a lot of the more tenured reps, in particular, making the decision to move on soon if some of this isn’t fixed. What makes it worse? Is there is almost a deniability that this is an issue. Instead people are asked to just believe when there is clearly a massive issue around rewarding reps. This is got progressively worse but this year it has jumped to another level.

Pros

WFH. Good perks in office. Free food etc.

Cons

This company has morphed into an AWS wannabe in the worst way.Practically every senior hire in the past 12 months has been an AWS cast off. Some of the best folks have left (heads of development, security etc) and their reasons were "if I'd wanted to work at AWS I'd be doing so...
