MongoDB reviews

Coming from a pretty challenging web dev shop, the difference in culture and workload is pretty noticeable. Standups only a couple times a week versus every morning, with plenty of space (and trust) from your team to get your work done. There is a culture that is generally supportive/aware of psychological health and mindful of it in daily interactions. Pay is pretty good too, especially for remote roles. Ramp up times are slower and generally forgiving, especially if you are new to the MongoDB ecosystem. They have the process almost down to a science.

The company culture is the best I've experienced in my career. The collaboration cross-functionally within the business is phenomenal, and there's a true sense of everyone pulling in the same direction as the company continues to grow. Salary and benefits are very competitive, and although you will work hard if you intend to succeed, there is a real emphasis on work/life balance. Office facilities are top class also, and most roles have the option to WFH either part-time or full-time. One of the key pros of working at MongoDB is the attitude towards individual growth and career progression. You own your own growth plan, and you know what the expected competencies for each role are. So, if there's a particular promotion you're working towards, you know where you need to focus your efforts in order to get there. There are plenty of opportunities and it is a true meritocracy.
