      Great Company for New Grads

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      MongoDB provides a wide range of positions for new grads to pick three and rotate on each for about 5-6 weeks before deciding a permanent team. While teams have completely different tech stacks and style (from system programing to front-end development, C++ to Go, large department to small start-up style team), they all share the same great culture.

      Cons

      It's hard to apply for new grads directly and most of them are return interns.

      Great coworkers & WLB, slow career progressions

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent WLB - company and managers are serious about it. Unlimited PTO policy works out to 4-5 weeks off per year in addition to one-off days off around long weekends etc which is great! Coworkers - everyone is very cordial and welcoming. Great bunch of folks to work with and it seems like the company indexes heavily on culture-fit in its hiring process. Compensation - for top performers, only FAANG pays more and not by much considering Facebook and Amazon's pathetic WLB. Extremely competitive pay.

      Cons

      Hard to progress - performance management in terms of promotions is completely broken in engineering. Some teams have people who are stuck in the same position for years while other teams are running roughshod promoting left and right which is extremely frustrating. Management has accepted that performance management needs improvement but other than using a different tool for filling out performance reviews this hasn't amounted to much. If titles are important to you and you are relatively early in your career, I'd stay the hell away. There are also many 'company people' who have been around for years and don't plan to leave so there isn't much opportunity for growth beyond a certain point.

      Great culture and mentors

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - I work on an awesome team and learn a lot every day. I'm always excited about whichever ticket I'm working on, and that's not an accident -- my manager and director ask me what I'm interested in and try to assign me work in those areas. - Lots of Employee Resource Groups that help you find mentors, and get advice when you need it. - My mentors have helped me deal with constructive feedback, and to grow as an engineer. I really feel like the senior engineers here celebrate my growth and want me to do as well at MongoDB as possible.

      Cons

      - Some teams (and managers) are better than others.
