Pros

* Pay is very competitive or no one would work there. * The product is technically sound and capable.

Cons

* The leadership team is verbally abusive to staff on calls. * They told us after everyone went remote for COVID that because we don't have to travel anymore we now have to book double the meetings we did before. * There is an expectation for you to work all day and weekends to make up for the poor sales process and offerings. * The answer to everything is always you aren't PGing enough. * Little care is given to making customers successful with the product unless they constantly are going to spend more money. * This model here is basically take in new sales staff, burn them out PGing for other people, fire, rinse and repeat. Check out the typical tenure of past staff on LinkedIn for proof. Not many people stay more than a year unless they are in the club.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback; we respect your concerns and take them seriously. It is very important to us to maintain an environment where all employees feel a sense of respect and that their voices are heard without any fear of retaliation. We are committed to our company value, “Build Together”, as well as fostering a positive, inclusive, and accepting environment. Our sales process is constantly evolving and refined based on years of research and data, and it proves to deliver consistent success but we acknowledge this requires consistent hard work to master. While we do have high expectations of all of our employees, we don’t expect that to come at the expense of one’s personal life. Our leadership team is invested in supporting rep work-life blend, and retaining top talent while helping reps avoid burnout is a top priority. We encourage reps to take regular PTO throughout the year, and throughout the pandemic we’ve held wellness check-ins designed to focus purely on employee experience in and outside of work and have also provided several company-wide days off on top of regular company holidays and PTO. We are committed to freeing the genius within our employees, customers, users, and communities, and we are confident that our sales team has a clear path for enabling our customers to be successful, especially working in collaboration with our Customer Success and Professional Services teams. We encourage current and former employees to get in touch with their People Partner or send an email to jess.katz@mongodb.com so that we can more fully understand and address your feedback. We are continuously working to create a culture of growth, learning, and development. We do this by providing support, coaching, enablement, and training for all employees, and feedback is a key part of this process.

Pros

Employees like to work hard. Very money hungry. If there's a way to make money, it's made.

Cons

Evil management. Every department head is void of emotion, empathy, general compassion. No work life balance. Sucked into this toxic way of thinking. Culty.
