Vantaggi

Good compensation, growth opportunities, good product. The top leadership is solid and driving the company in the right direction.

Svantaggi

There is no work life balance. Expect to spend 10-12 hours everyday for work and sometimes on the weekends too and this affects the mental health. The leadership team has done a good job of giving some days off but the burnout is real. You have to decide whether you want this financial opportunity or physical and mental well being. Especially if you have a family with kids, its going to be really tough. You have unlimited PTO but you cant really use it. You have constant pressure to deliver and if you take time off , it piles up. I think it will be better to have fixed number of days for time off. You will hear that there are a bunch of benefits like spring health etc but let me tell you whatever it is you will go back to the same state because you have so much work pressure to deliver. Micromanagement is real. Beware if you are used to operating in an environment which is independent/has minimal supervision.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
