      Pros

      As a person who started out their career as a Systems Engineer loving the role of building systems and keeping them performing at scale, I found myself missing that connection in SA roles I had at subsequent SaaS tech companies I worked for. That was until I joined MongoDB last year and I immediately felt like I was home, and my career had come full circle to exactly where I'm supposed to be. MongoDB gives me all the job satisfaction I've craved for years, it allows me to practice all the Sales skills I learned over the years because it takes sales discovery and the sales process so seriously and more over it affords me the opportunity to work with customers on complex technical challenges where I can really develop and strengthen my technical knowledge but also become an important part of helping customers build their application and database architectures and ultimately drive genuine value and growth for those businesses.

      Cons

      The only con is not MongoDB related but more covid related. They company has a great office and a really great working culture but sadly i've only had one opportunity over the past 12 months to enjoy it :(

      No psychological safety. Abusive culture. Outdated & expensive tech that cannot compete. Overvalued stock. RUN RUN RUN!!

      Pros

      Learning the MEDDIC sales framework

      Cons

      I am glad you are reading this. Trust me, the only good thing about the MongoDB sales team is the application of MEDDIC in their sales methodology and their methodology for pipeline generation (minus the militant culture). Other than that, recruiters and hiring managers will simply lie to get you to join because the churn is high. Average tenure in sales is 9 months. They will offer you life changing money (700K to 1+ million) and tell you is a real privilege to work for them. But they will assign you with accounts and territories that have been exhausted by previous sellers, giving you no chance for success or route to money as they put it. No matter how hard they work you and believe me they will, averaging 60 hour week and forcing the sales org. to be in the office, competitors can offer their products at low, or even no cost, to enhance the overall value of the cloud platform. Competing firms can also bundle the other services to create a comprehensive solution that MongoDB cannot, as they’re simply one piece of an enterprise’s software needs. You'll see a lot of PR and press activity about their shares, but under the bonnet customers are moving away, costs and debt is high and revenue growth stalling. Their stock is simply overvalued. Do me a favour, and do your due diligence around this company. The mental abuse here is strong and you'll walk away pretty penniless. Be wise!
