Toxic CULT!

Pros

Compensation is good -- it has to be, given that you have to provide your soul in return. SaaS offering (Atlas) is pretty good.

Cons

Product is overblown. It's touted as a replacement for Oracle and SQL Server, but the architecture and query language remind me of dBase III+. The core value "be intellectually honest" means to be as mean as possible to your peers and/or subordinates, and has nothing to do with customers. It's a cult. There are people so money-hungry here that they'll say anything, no matter how untrue. The 5-star reviews are likely from employees just hoping to get rich from the stock. Managers are as arrogant as they come -- and many are scumbags. The product isn't a database -- it's a stock.

Thank you for sharing your review. We respect your concerns and take them seriously. Our goal is to ensure everyone has a positive experience working here. Our leaders have an open door policy and are open to hearing more about the MongoDB employee experience either through small intimate group discussions or one-to-one conversations. We encourage you to reach out to your team leader or People Partner to discuss any thoughts you may have. The more information we have, the better we can help address these. One of MongoDB’s company values is “Be Intellectually Honest,” which means having courage in our convictions. It’s important to us that each employee feels that they can voice their opinion and be honest about their beliefs while being open-minded to different perspectives. However, this value should not result in being unkind or disrespectful to peers and it is important to maintain an environment where all employees feel a sense of respect and belonging. As always, we encourage all current employees to reach out to their respective People Partner or anyone in their chain of communication to raise concerns and talk through issues to ensure everyone is working in an environment in which they can thrive.
