Pros

There are some decent people who work here. They don’t often stay for long The product is amazing and the perks are typical amongst MongoDB peers

Cons

A ruthless and nasty organisation to work at as a woman. The comments, bro culture and toxic masculinity the most extreme I’ve seen. I’ve been at QBRs where VPs are spending $1000s of dollars going to casinos and drinking into the early hours, turning up drunk all on shareholders dime. Most of the sales team just got lucky that MongoDB Atlas sold itself and have little to no clue how they made their number. Let’s just hope someone at the C-Level realises you’re paying a bunch of sales people to do not a whole lot. I’ve heard of reps getting paid $100,000+ on deals where they’ve not even spoken to the customer. I’d remove the whole sales leadership and bring in a fresh set of leaders who can take the organisation to $5bn+ What is it they said about Maddof, it’s only when the tide goes in do you realise who’s swimming naked. A couple of bad quarters with the recession looming and it’ll all come out that the leadership have no clue what they’re doing.

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.
