Great place to grow your career

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.

Strange culture

Pros

Fast growing company and the technology is solid. Seems we are widely respected in the marketplace and there are a growing number of uses cases and proof points, we seem to be gaining major traction

Cons

The culture is pretty bad, overall a negative place to work, maybe it is just my team, i don't know. Major pressure on short term results vs long term planning (at least on the sales side of things), hire and fire kind of culture.

A lot of promise but painful experience

Pros

Fantastic team to work with, everyone clearly highly skilled. Promise of flexible work arrangements and work/life balance. Huge opportunity to work on a breakthrough product in rapidly changing industry. Very collegial coworkers and collaborative work environment.

Cons

I found the work/life balance to be mostly a sham. My immediate manager was absent 2-3 days per week, but expected to be involved in even routine decisions and would not respond to email. I was penalized on my reviews for leaving "early" after 8-9 hours and I frequently worked 1-2 hours from home every evening. Almost all requests to work from home were denied.
