      You will burnout

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Overall the training you get at MongoDB is second to none. You will learn so much that at times it will feel overwhelming. The hiring process is rigorous for a reason, they will expect A LOT from you. Great perks like WFH, Lunch and free snacks. Good stock plan and pension plan. Opportunity to relocate from Dublin to Barcelona or London. Good people.

      Cons

      If your not careful you will burn out. There is pressure from top down leadership that gets dumped on junior staff. They have completely messed up the compensation plan for Sales Development here. Working tirelessly to earn 65k (OTE). They threaten you with PIP's when you are underperforming.

      - great product - interesting projects/technologies - good learning opportunities - two skunkworks weeks per year

      Cons

      Great culture and place to work!

      1 Feb 2023 - Senior Software Engineer in Dublin, Dublin
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Great product and not a huge amount of tech debt 2. Great team members 3. Very interesting problems to solve 4. Not so stressful if you know how to handle yourself

      Cons

      1. You need to be extremely independent to have success at MongoDB. Nobody is going to tell you what to do or how to do it. You need to figure it out yourself (although this is pros for me, this could not be necessarily true for everybody). 2. Teams are dislocated everywhere in the world, if you happen to be part of one of those teams, you need to sharp your communication skills.

      Pros

      MongoDB are very passionate about culture and insuring everyone who walks in the door fits the existing culture. This is a culture where openness, inclusiveness and respect are really important. Management want to try as hard as they can to maintain the small company feel while the company scales. I have worked in some large companies where the term 'family' is used a lot but here there is truth in saying that there is a family feel amongst my team and in my office. I can attest to this as within my first year I have had to deal with two quite serious changes in my personal life and the team has been so supportive and nothing has ever been an issue. The Senior Leadership here is the strongest I have ever seen in my career and I have no doubt this company will continue to grow over the next 5 years. The offices are incredible and the employee benefits are exceptional.

      Cons

      Working for MongoDB in certain areas of the company is not a 9-5 job. As the company is growing at pace there is large demands on employees. I know that this is currently a major focus and corrective measures are being looked at to make sure that a balance can be found.
