Pros

1. Employee benefits are decent but fall short, with subpar gym perks limited to a basic Cult corporate package and no inclusion of NPS or other valuable additions. 2. Every department except TechOps enjoys a yearly offsite, leaving TechOps unfairly excluded from this company-wide perk. Join the company if you are not joining TechOps.

Cons

1. Many folks in the leadership left the organization in last 1 year. 2. The influx of new senior leaders—specifically CIOs and VPs, all Indian immigrants to the U.S.—has dismantled the company’s collaborative culture, replacing it with cliquish, hierarchical practices that alienate long-standing employees. 3. TechOps blew $100,000 + on fake Agile training by the leader’s friend, with no certifications gained. 4. TechOps is a mess, with no offsites while other departments jet to Europe and Australia. 5. MongoDB’s $200 learning budget is a pathetic joke, locked behind a year of service and repayment clauses. 6. No learning support—no Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, or any subscriptions whatsoever.

Pros

Great product. Passionate people. No micromanaging. Flexible vacation policy.

Cons

sometimes the lack of defined process actually slows down progress. The tribal knowledge is strong here and the pace of the work means we miss sharing or capturing it for the greater good.

Pros

Office perks, the people, flexible work from home arrangements

Cons

Workload is intense, frequent changes to senior leadership. Some leaders are there since it was a small company & don't have the skill set for the large company it is now.
