Pros

There are so many things at 10gen that are either very interesting to work on, or just brand new technology. The co-workers are friendly and the management is easy to approach. The technical knowledge is shared by the whole company (including marketing and sales).

Cons

As a startup, things can sometimes be a bit chaotic with directions changing a bit more often than I'd like. This has however already been getting better and I assume it will improve in the near future.

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)

Pros

Remote work and decent pay

Cons

Really depends on the team, however middle management needs to be addressed. Toxic culture that truly depends on who your manager is. Silent layoffs are made to seem "Performance-based", then job is re-posted at a reduced range. Proceed with caution and understand that HR is not your friend.
