Pros

Good management team, solid commitment to diversity, brilliant and motivated co-workers, and an exciting company that's growing fast

Cons

Sometimes people focus on putting in long hours at their own expense; you'll feel pressure to do the same, but not from management (that I can tell).

Pros

MongoDB has always been quick to pivot on sales strategies and genuinely seek honest feedback from sales team as to how things can improve. Resources are always made available if you can make a case for them. Compensation is above average.

Cons

Product can be a difficult sale. The open source version is so rock solid and universally loved that it can be near-impossible to convince even the most avid users to pay for enterprise features. Constant back and forth between sales and engineering exec team on which features should be made free for greater adoption and which should move to enterprise to actually make money. Many members of management come from the same 1-2 companies so the culture is very similar to former companies and hiring tends to focus on former employees as well.

Pros

MongoDB is a company that is invested in the long term in both their customers and their employees. The company culture is welcoming to employees with diverse backgrounds and cultures. There are a lot of really smart people at MongoDB combined with a nurturing culture.

Cons

Company is stabilizing which causes a bit of stagnation. Engineering feels a bit removed from the rest of the company.
