Pros

- A lot of cross team collaboration. You never feel like you're on an island within your team or region. Managers of other teams make a concerted effort to collaborate so we're always learning from one another - You work with a wide range of customers and teams, so no day is really the same - it's always exciting and you're always learning and growing - Leadership genuinely cares about career growth and wellbeing. The work life balance can ebb and flow like any company but time off is strongly encouraged - There is a thorough ramp period to help get you up to speed on all things Mongo - There is a genuine appreciation for CSMs within Sales and other internal ecosystem partners - Leadership is relatable and approachable. There's opportunities to engage with leadership throughout the year in meaningful ways - you're not just one of many within their org - Pay is competitive for CS

Cons

- This job is what you make of it - it's challenging but rewarding. It's beneficial to come in with some foundation of app development to get a little head start - Ramp period can feel long but it's worth it! You're constantly learning new things which can be overwhelming at times but there's so many people to help / ask questions to. You're always supported - Sentiment on managers, teams, and sales relationships can sometimes vary between regions, but overarching dynamics are positive. Leadership is highly receptive to feedback on working relationships and enact change based on that feedback

Pros

MongoDB is a great product. There are plenty of engineers who love it and prioritize it as a tool for all new applications. There is a super high earnings potential here, complemented by a great competitive sales culture. Here, good inputs get rewarded with better opportunities, which isn't true of many sales roles.

Cons

Not all, but many leaders tend to micromanage. There is poor (no) training for new roles when you get internally promoted from one IC role to another. Selling on consumption instead of on commitment leads to significantly longer runways to make money, but if you stick around and hit a hot streak with a key account you can have historic years.

Pros

Great product, great people, every app needs a database

Cons

Mongodb pays all sales people the same base pay depending on your seniority. There is no negotiation and it's set in stone no matter how good you are.
