Pros

The tech is one of the only 2 good things in the company. MongoDB as a solution sells for itself and many customers sign up for it on a daily basis. The company is doing very well because of the best NoSQL tech in the market. The other good thing is the company culture. The company benefits are at par with most of the good companies out there.

Cons

The sales department is nothing less than toxic. The managers act if they own the company and the only language they talk in is sarcasm and taunt. It is pretty normal to bully employees on the floor. You will start getting pings from your manager about 7 am in the mornings which will go on till 11 pm in the evening too. One should not be surprised if your manager connects with you on the weekends too. Micromanagement is to the fullest and you are not allowed to smile on the floor. So worklife balance is not what one should be expecting. People close business by any means possible. There are so many fake numbers, deals, customers that people create and then proudly claim to over achieve their targets a quarter on quarter. People have found so many ways to fool the system that the business head is unaware of most of the bad practices that go on in the name of sales. There is no actual sales that you do, only fool the system. New folks are completely clueless. The people who have stayed in the system for long are the root cause of all toxicity. They have spread the culture of favouritism, scam, no growth in the name of sales and all the other kinds of toxicity that one can or cannot even think of. And whenever things start going beyond control, they start blaming the reps for the mess they started in the first place.

Pros

Most benefits are solid, exception being no matching 401K which is kind of insane for tech. Embraces the use of AI for all employees.

Cons

MongoDB is extremely dysfunctional from a marketing POV. The functional silos built a culture of no collaboration and just checking boxes of doing the same things over and over again. Leadership at the MLT level is out of their depth for what the business needs out of marketing to grow. There is arrogance encouraged by a bully CMO who has her favorites that can be held to different standards than others and it is abundantly clear. That attitude trickles down into all of MLT and never really offer solutions, just criticisms. Pay is lower than other companies for the same role. Lack of clarity of what it takes to get a promotion. Blatant disregard for Employee Engagement surveys that have been on a decline for years that leadership takes no ownership on improving.
