Pros

MongoDB's technology is second to none. Work atmosphere (Austin Office) was a lot of fun. Great people working there. The Austin Office makes sure they have office events to ensure everyone is engaged. Loved attending those!

Cons

Headcount vs quota is out of whack. The product is free, and trying to get someone to pay for something they have been using for years is pretty tough. Especially, when there is really not a functional change between the free version versus the enterprise version. Sure, there are some advantages for paying for it, but not enough advantages for MongoDB's asking price. They also scaled up sales fast, without understanding the financial trade off of having reps not hitting their number.

Pros

MongoDB has captured many of the developers and has a strong community.

Cons

Leadership is not clear on Go to Market and treats people poorly. They appear to care but underneath not so much.

Pros

Individuals, and some small teams, in the company are brilliant and can get amazing things done; In general employees are high quality and have a huge amount of potential.

Cons

Departments and teams have little interaction or cohesion. A lack of a vision leads to challenges executing and focusing on short-term goals and the inability to plan for longer term ones. There is no real company culture or ownership which make it hard to be personally invested or put in the extra time or energy to make something great.
