Hi there. While we appreciate your review, we'd like to take this opportunity to address some points you've made as they are not necessarily correct. We encourage all employees to provide us with honest feedback, whether it is through our employee engagement survey, directly to their manager or HR, or through Glassdoor. Negative reviews are not prohibited, and a non-disparagement clause is standard language across any company and not specific to MongoDB. All feedback, whether positive or negative, helps us better ourselves as an employer. Let us also make it clear that no employee would be subject to retaliation for stating their honest opinion, and we hope you shared your concerns with HR prior to your departure.

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)
