Pros

Working at MongoDB is everything you would (and should) expect from an industry-disrupting, high growth software 'unicorn’; exceptional leadership (and therefore GTM strategy), a talented internal ecosystem whose primary goal is to help you be successful, a great mix of greenfield and established accounts to go after and a fast pace of execution/evolution. (It goes without saying the tech is second to none - the numbers speak for themselves). Crucially, and unlike other tech companies, the leadership team are accessible and invested in your development - mentorship, coaching, regular off-sites etc. In my experience MongoDB is a meritocracy and has been supportive when I've had to be with family during difficult times, and to start my own. It's been a life-changing opportunity personally, professionally and financially (top achievers are earning £400k-£500k+) - overall a good place to take your career to the next level.

Cons

It's a mature ecosystem and professional environment - no one's going to do your job for you and you need to have a solid plan to make the most of your territory and manage resources. There is a massive focus on Diversity & Inclusion globally, but the UK is behind. Great to see some of the recent changes and investments in this area but still not where we should be.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

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.
