Pros

- Smart and genuine colleagues who want to help. - Interesting technology that has customers across every industry possible. My technical expertise has grown leaps and bounds since joining. - Top quartile compensation when the stock isn't in the dumps - Competent leadership, for the most part. Doesn't overreact and is willing to do the boring things that make sense and keep the company going. - Challenging work but you can definitely make it work with 40-45 hr weeks. - Lots of flexibility for remote workers and parents. I think Mongo is like an 8.5/10 but if I were a parent, it would be a 10/10 for sure

Cons

- Lots of leadership churn leads to uncertainty and change in company culture. Most of the ex-Amazon people I've met have been great as individuals, but the culture has shifted noticeably to Big Corp, in good and bad ways - Stock very volatile - Work can be uninspiring at times. We're not doing anything that harms society but databases don't get me out of bed in the morning - Some colleagues are also uninspiring, although many have been managed out at this point

Pros

- good benefits, decent pay, good maternity/paternity (6 & 5 months but with 1 year cliff), sick pay, health insurance, snacks & food in the office

Cons

- terrible HR, wide known, in all forms - from processing speeds to following it's own policies that can be interpreted in any way (never employee way) - corporate world in all it's "beauty"
