Pros

The room to grow myself and my career is what drew me to MongoDB and has stayed true my entire time here. I'm surrounded by super smart people with always interesting work to dig into. Most importantly the work/life balance is amazing.

Cons

Project stress can sometimes get really high, but a lot of that is self imposed wanting to produce the best end result.

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.
