Best company to grow with!

Solutions architect

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As the company grows rapidly, you can 1. find an opportunity that will suit your skills 2. to grow vertically or horizontally, change org or develop your skills within the org. Company's culture is very dynamic, rewarding and doesn't tolerate mediocracy. Which is perfect for me. MongoDB appreciates people with strong drive and energy. I moved from Technical Support org to Pre-Sales org within 2 years, and I appreciate the chance that was given me.

Cons

If you are looking for a place "to sync" it's not for you. The company is for people with drive, a desire to personally develop, with ambitions.

Leadership motto: fake it till you make it

Technical program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. A small number of employees were genuinly wonderful people.

Cons

1. Extremely toxic working environment 2. Political drama in the extreme. Expect to have to watch your back at all times. 3. Leaders are chosen on their submission to the status quo. An environment this toxic enables only further toxicity to rise. Management is full of individuals who abuse the reporting structure to ensure only a subservient class of employee survives. Company culture is extremely toxic due to a high number of “fake it till you make it”VPs and directors. These individuals care only about their appearance to their own management and ignore their apparent duties, abusing the power dyamic between themselves and team members.
