Pros

-Free lunch twice a week -Low deductibles in the US for benefits -Fully stocked kitchen -Exposure to senior leadership -Good product with high growth opportunity -Lots of employee events to build a sense of community

Cons

-Lots of politics (I would say more so than other NYC companies) -Lack of diversity in leadership (especially at the exec level) -Not a culture of development (there is no patience for development, if you aren't cutting it you get the boot) -No real feedback process(there is no formal talent review process which it makes it difficult to assess where you are at)

The early talent team does a fantastic job supporting interns and making the transition from college to full-time comfortable. Team's truly do care for you

Felt like there was a lot changes happening at the executive level

Pros

Most benefits are solid, exception being no matching 401K which is kind of insane for tech. Embraces the use of AI for all employees.

Cons

MongoDB is extremely dysfunctional from a marketing POV. The functional silos built a culture of no collaboration and just checking boxes of doing the same things over and over again. Leadership at the MLT level is out of their depth for what the business needs out of marketing to grow. There is arrogance encouraged by a bully CMO who has her favorites that can be held to different standards than others and it is abundantly clear. That attitude trickles down into all of MLT and never really offer solutions, just criticisms. Pay is lower than other companies for the same role. Lack of clarity of what it takes to get a promotion. Blatant disregard for Employee Engagement surveys that have been on a decline for years that leadership takes no ownership on improving.
