      A Firm with Two Hemispheres

      Customer success manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Sharp co-workers; our hiring bar has remained fairly consistent - Large addressable market, as many analysts are fond of pointing out - Strong technology; Mongo is a proven quantity with world class applications built on top of it - Good product direction/roadmap; this is not a stagnant org lacking vision - Access to RSUs & ESPP, especially with recent upward stock movements - Health Benefits - Unlimited PTO - Diversity appears to be a meaningful company priority, which is laudable

      Cons

      This is a company that is sharply divided between Sales/Marketing/CS and everyone else (e.g. Eng, Product, etc.). The former has an expectation of high rates of attrition, with lower salaries, equity, and commensurate turnover. It is short-sighted and leaves many feeling they do not have a viable career path at Mongo. I believe there is significant under-investment in customer facing roles as we are not perceived as core value additive and aligned with the shareholder value model that dominates. This narrow-mindedness means we lose some of our most talented individuals to more forward thinking organizations with less conservative tendencies. Coupled with below market pay and conflicting/overlapping direction/OKRs means we often function in a shambolic manner, unable to achieve excellence across the board.

      Growth Environment

      Customer success manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Company Culture (very inclusive, open, Feedback is valued) - great innovative product (highly technical - level up your technical knowledge) - above average compensation

      Cons

      sometimes lots of changes at once but usually for the better- need to be able to adapt quickly (normal in a fast growing tech company)

      MongoDB - A company you would aspire to work for!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Care n Comfort - One thing that stands out about MongoDB is the focus on the care n comfort of the employees. Considering the unprecedented times we have been facing since last year, the leadership team has time and again gone the extra mile to ensure the safety and well-being of the employees. Just to pin down a few: - Provided oxygen concentrators for employees/ family members - Vaccination reimbursements for dependents - 1-day additional off every quarter - Hamper on COVID-19 essentials - Financial support on medical expenses beyond the insurance coverage A couple of policies that are a little hard to believe but they are real: - Paternity leave of 4 months - You get to keep the laptops forever if you work on the same machine for 3 years 2019 was the year wherein job loss. pay cuts, etc was common news. However, all employees at MongoDB were given an additional bonus

      Cons

      Not the best paymasters but considering the entire package: Culture + Care n Comfort + Flexibility + employee-friendly policies, makes it a good deal!
