Pros

People at MongoDB tend to be genuinely interested in their areas of work and learning, I've found it to be a culture of collaboration vs. competition. MongoDB has a self-starter culture and there are lots of opportunities to take on new, challenging work. While we're growing, there's still not too much bureaucracy and projects tend to move fast and flexibly. Execs are open and approachable which provides great opportunities to make your voice heard and learn from some truly impressive leaders.

Cons

Some of the perks are still catching up to what you might see at a larger company – but overall things are pretty good, this has improved a lot over the past few years.

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.
