Pros

-Huge growth opportunities in terms of career skills and level -Very large total addressable market - huge upside and potential -Competitive total compensation but low base compared to big tech companies -Sincere and nice people -Generous parental leave policy -Transparent Executive Leadership team

Cons

-Challenging goals you are tied to each quarter that impact your ability to get promoted -Pretty corporate culture i.e. open concept cubicles, tools in place for some micro management -Cheaper than other tech companies i.e. no wfh stipends, or real big tech perks -Not all orgs get to experience flexibility of remote work which makes it hard to attract and retain some talent -Flexible PTO not properly respected; it's normal to answer work emails while on PTO despite management verbally discouraging it -Growing pains -Interviews don't always give realistic expectations of challenges within role -High possibility of burnout if workload is not managed properly -L&D is somewhat lacking i.e. no education stipend and courses only focus on theoretical soft skills

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback; we respect your concerns and take them seriously. While we do have high expectations of all of our employees and acknowledge that our sales process requires consistent hard work to master, we encourage employees to utilize our flexible PTO ethos to take time for themselves to relax and unwind. Our Learning & Development program equips managers with training on managing and collaborating with different working and learning styles. Our goal is to ensure our managers can devote the necessary time to train and coach our sales reps so they can continue to grow and develop their careers. The health insurance plan options offered to our employees are market competitive and come at various price points so that employees have the flexibility to choose which plan is best for them. We encourage all our employees (current and former) to raise concerns and share feedback so that we can take action to continuously improve our organization. If you would be open to sharing more, please get in touch with our Senior Employer Brand Manager, Jess Katz, at jess.katz@mongodb.com.

Pros

High growth company in a massive market. Leading modern general purpose database platform. The best sales enablement and training in the industry. Amazing leaders. Upper management genuinely cares about the sales team from top down. They're accessible, outgoing, and transparent. Great culture and values. Departments work together closely and are always there to help out if needed.

Cons

High attrition, long sales cycles. Selling open source database software is difficult.
