Career progression + innovation-driven + massive future opportunity!
Pros
1. Great product with massive future growth opportunity 2. Reward (pay, equity), recognize and promote high performers who drive impact across the company 3. Encourage experimentation and innovation (tech, Sales, Pre-Sales + Post-Sales approaches) 4. We challenge ourselves to be the best in the industry 5. Leadership - takes action on feedback provided in employee surveys and understands and respects people needs to manage work-life harmony (people are understanding of managing family life schedules & challenges) Personally, I've never progressed in my career faster, or learned more than in my career at MongoDB and I attribute a lot of that to the leadership that encourages and empowers us to "Think Big, Go Far" and "Make it Matter" (2 of our key values). For those who take ownership and initiative with their careers and have the tenacity and persistence to overcome challenges and adversity, there is huge opportunity.
Cons
1. High pressure and highly demanding - tough to balance everything on our plates. 2. Significant effort and scrutiny on new investment spend (new hires, tools) (understandable with the focus on profitability) 3. More technical product sale - steeper learning curve for non-technical people
