Pros
- In the sales organization you are trusted out of the gate. The hiring process is such that there's a belief by leadership that you as an individual contributor know what you're doing. This is different from many organizations where you have to "earn" trust before leadership lets you run. This culture is refreshing. - Product works, plain and simple - Relevance in the marketplace (DB market is a big market to go after, every App needs a DB) - The NYC office has a great culture of helping one another, sharing data, and constantly finding creative ways to be drive success - Think of a tool, creative idea, or way to drive business and make your customers successful, I guarantee MongoDB will at minimum think about it if not approve it, awesome stuff here.
Cons
- MongoDB is still in the early innings of their journey (good thing) and so there will be change in all aspects of the business. The challenge for the leadership organization will be not letting the change creative any negative impacts to the business, culture, and go-to-market. I think our leadership team is up to the task though.
