Pros

The product itself is excellent. There are some really nice people who work here but unfortunately they tend to get overlooked when it comes to promotions, compensation increases etc. so don't tend to stay too long.

Cons

-A very ruthless, toxic male dominated sales culture. -The company does not undergo a full 360 degree review with regards to manager review and promotions, so often the wrong people are promoted & rewarded which creates a lot of dissatisfaction & attrition. -Leadership team are not authentic. A bunch of sales and recruiting staff were laid off earlier in the year. MongoDB tried to disguise these lay offs as staff being fired due to poor performance. The level of compensation and support the impacted staff received was appalling.

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.
