Pluspunten

Fantastic team to work with, everyone clearly highly skilled. Promise of flexible work arrangements and work/life balance. Huge opportunity to work on a breakthrough product in rapidly changing industry. Very collegial coworkers and collaborative work environment.

Minpunten

I found the work/life balance to be mostly a sham. My immediate manager was absent 2-3 days per week, but expected to be involved in even routine decisions and would not respond to email. I was penalized on my reviews for leaving "early" after 8-9 hours and I frequently worked 1-2 hours from home every evening. Almost all requests to work from home were denied.

Pluspunten

Smart coworkers, fun projects. At the time it still felt like small enough of a company to know people. It's truly an inflection point of my career to work there.

Minpunten

Not a lot of office perks compared to other big tech companies.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
