Pros

Working at MongoDB means working with the smartest and most talented people in the industry. Which led to the huge growth of MongoDB. I enjoy being part of this success story, not only because I believe in the technology and our products, but also because of the people and our company culture. In my role, I get to make our customers successful in using MongoDB by helping them with all their technical challenges and also by educating them. This can sometimes be really rewarding, to be able to solve something that had been a big issue for a customer or to see how somebody turns from being a MongoDB noob to an expert.

Cons

The downside of working in a fast growing company is that everything is always changing very quickly. Which sometimes can lead to problems, but often it is also an opportunity to improve things.

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.
