      Pros

      Strong product and community around it

      Cons

      Lots of management changes, had issues with how they wanted to try to sell and seemed to hire a lot of VPs and let them go less than a year later

      Why is change bad? I couldn't be more excited for MongoDB's future

      Pros

      The company is entering a new stage of growth with proven models for success in place. The expectations imposed on MongoDB years ago are more reachable now than ever before. Yes, past change had an effect on many, it's evident by reading the reviews. Yet not many companies are successful by staying the course from inception. Change is difficult but necessary. MongoDB wouldn't be where it is today without the positive impact of past employees, but it's naive to think everyone will be happy with change.

      Cons

      As a company we must find our identity. We have a phenomenal product, community and customers who care, and executives who can take us the distance. Lets find out who we are and get out of this adolescent phase.

      I don't recommend this as a place to work

      Pros

      This is a place where the money is good and the technology is great, but the people and career opportunities are not.

      Cons

      There is no consistent standard for leveling of Product Managers, leadership just makes stuff up as they go without communicating about it. The relationship between Product and Engineering is pathologically bad. The only way to grow here is to step over the dead bodies. This is one of the worst jobs I've ever had in a long career. My leadership couldn't care less about me or my career, they only manage up.
