      Stimulating, fun environment - Awesome co-workers

      Pros

      Fun, challenging environment. A lot of autonomy. Nobody holds you back from exploring an idea or taking on a new project. Still a relatively small company so not a ton of process and paperwork to get in your way. Super smart co-workers who keep me on my toes. The benefits are awesome

      Cons

      If you have workaholic tendencies you have to pace yourself.

      Pros

      I could not be more proud of the marketing team at MongoDB. A very smart and talented team that welcomed me with open arms and embraced change quickly. A strong executive team in place excited about the future of our company with a seasoned tech veteran as CEO. And a founder that is loved by all. A strong partnership between marketing and sales has already kicked off. Looking forward to the year ahead.

      Cons

      As an executive I hope to build upon the amazing foundation in place to make this one of the most amazing companies in our history.

      Earnest but corporate-leaning culture

      Pros

      Pleasant work environment. Everyone is cordial towards each other and is earnestly trying to build a better company. No-meeting Thursdays. Hits all the right notes with the perks and work-life balance.

      Cons

      No compelling technology vision. Any semblance of passion for the company has been long gone, or never flourished to begin with. Company leadership is in flux, and generally nowhere to be seen. Talent bar is so-so, and some groups are *abysmal*. Risk-taking is discouraged ostensibly to minimize the possibility of bugs, even though the database product is riddled with them and more facepalm-level ones are found every week. Because of the risk-averse culture, there is no compulsion to pursue interesting projects, and it's harder to recruit and retain talent if there's no motivation to tackle interesting problems. It's becoming increasingly slow-moving, opaque, process-heavy, and JIRA-centric. I'd go as far as to characterize it as a JIRA *fetish*. No joke. To modify temperature controls, you need to file a JIRA. Every thermostat in the main New York City office has a sign on top of it saying so.
