Pros

- A lot of cross team collaboration. You never feel like you're on an island within your team or region. Managers of other teams make a concerted effort to collaborate so we're always learning from one another - You work with a wide range of customers and teams, so no day is really the same - it's always exciting and you're always learning and growing - Leadership genuinely cares about career growth and wellbeing. The work life balance can ebb and flow like any company but time off is strongly encouraged - There is a thorough ramp period to help get you up to speed on all things Mongo - There is a genuine appreciation for CSMs within Sales and other internal ecosystem partners - Leadership is relatable and approachable. There's opportunities to engage with leadership throughout the year in meaningful ways - you're not just one of many within their org - Pay is competitive for CS

Cons

- This job is what you make of it - it's challenging but rewarding. It's beneficial to come in with some foundation of app development to get a little head start - Ramp period can feel long but it's worth it! You're constantly learning new things which can be overwhelming at times but there's so many people to help / ask questions to. You're always supported - Sentiment on managers, teams, and sales relationships can sometimes vary between regions, but overarching dynamics are positive. Leadership is highly receptive to feedback on working relationships and enact change based on that feedback

Pros

* High-quality product that's popular in it's market means we get to spend more time being strategic and helping customers instead of playing defense and apologizing for incidents * Strong leadership team with clear market direction, high confidence in long-term trajectory * Lots of opportunities for support and mentorship. Was given the development to succeed as an IC and still receiving as much support now as a leader * Generous salary and equity bumps with promotions

Cons

* Work-life balance is possible but requires constant prioritization * As company gets larger, there are more hoops and processes required to navigate

Pros

MongoDB has some great perks, including a beautiful NYC office and paid lunch, which is a standout benefit. The company offers decent insurance and stock options, and the Customer Success (CS) team culture is generally supportive and collaborative among peers. The product itself is great and well respected amongst the developer community.

Cons

Unfortunately, first-line management in the CS team is inexperienced and often creates a psychologically unsafe environment by focusing on assigning blame rather than solving problems. The job itself, while not particularly challenging, involves a lot of busywork to cater to sales requests that often fall outside of the role’s scope. Team dynamics are further strained by frequent conflicts with solution architects over credit for leads, leaving the CS team out of payouts too often. They tend to hire externally instead of focusing on developing the current talent. Lots of attrition across teams right now on CS. While the overall benefits are decent, the lack of a 401k match is disappointing. Ultimately, these issues, especially with management, make it difficult to recommend MongoDB as a workplace.
