Vantaggi
smartest people i have ever worked with, common to meet with CTOS and VPs of top startups / companies, great culture, great product, love working with companies in all industries and learning about cool applications people have created. development is best in class. if you can sell at mongo you can go sell anywhere and be set for life. best in class coaching, training, career development. work life balance is fine IF you are keeping up with your day to day and pacing for quota. promotions are truly given to those who earn them which can be good or bad. even if you're hitting 300% of quota every q, you still need to be showing your work and exhibiting other traits to be promoted. personally i like this better than just promoting those who get lucky a few times but can't show their work.
Svantaggi
- not so much a con as a warning STEEP learning curve if you come from any industry outside of databases. and i mean STEEP. if you come from a "tech startup" that maybe sells like a few products that's cool but this is 100000x more complex than that. - recently there have been people let go and they are refusing to call them layoffs. more are in the works and there is stress company wide about who will be affected next - benefits could be better. no 401k match, health insurance is just "fine" - tons of change in a short period of time. constantly changing comp plans, the way we approach the sales process, etc. - the logic behind these changes makes sense but it's a lot to handle sometimes.
