I have been working at MongoDB full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
A destination employer for ambitious professionals who want to accelerate their development in a company that is really shifting the goal posts in tech.
Leadership across the company competent, motivating, empathetic and driven.
High hiring standard means bright and impressive colleagues.
Enjoyable, rewarding and supportive working environment.
Strong pay and benefits, commitment to working hard whilst maintaining healthy work/life balance.
Most importantly- a real commitment to developing talent and promoting from within.
Wholeheartedly recommend applying. For a non-techie, the product ecosystem is complicated at first but the level of investment in you means you'll surprise yourself with how quickly you pick it up. Character is valued above knowledge in the hiring process for sure.
Cons
Nothing stands out, delighted I made the move

Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at MongoDB (Dublin, Co. Dublin) in September 2013.
Interview
I took part with 2 phone interviews. 1st interview was just to introduce myself and the recruiter. A quick tour on my career, interests, aicnd what MongoDB is looking for. It was not challenging at all.
2nd interview was supposed to be a technical interview and it was. Since I come from Java world the most of the questions were Java related. All of them were very easy for me to answer and I did not find this interview challenging whatsoever.
The problem here is that they were not interested in continuation, which is quite difficult to understand for me. It seems that this was pure waste of time, maybe they just make their statistics on number of interviewed persons. This just does not make sense to me. Overall experience with this company is very poor because even I asked for some feedback they just ignored me.
In April, MongoDB hosted 19 incredible undergraduate women for our first ever Women in Computer Science Summit. Check out what they had to say about the awesome event! #lifeatmongodb
