Pros

Mongo has a decent product and is a minor disrupter in a highly competitive market. The stock is great to day trade.

Cons

Senior Sales leadership is completely detached from the realities of the sales role. Their micro-management approach and unrealistic quota and productive capacity expectations drives away talented sale professionals - they have a major retention problem. Very few reps hit their numbers and even fewer hit with any consistency. There is very little functional support outside of the corp office in New York. CEO is a decent leader but the CRO is cold blooded with a very short leash - he loves to fire people. He will drive the business into the ground. Avoid this sweatshop - there are significantly better opportunities out there that allow for reps to be successful, feel valued and allow for better work/life balance.

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.
