MongoDB Reviews

Pros

As the company is growing quickly it is exciting for everyone to be part of this success. Company values are lived by everyone, teamwork regardless of what department you are in. Work-life balance is also a huge PRO if needed to work from home to run an errand or two it is possible. I think I am most proud of the transparency and trust of Top Management.

Cons

Sometimes the days can be long due to cross continent teams but otherwise, it is manageable.

Some people need stronger pressure to work hard, democracy and lack of micromanagement is bad for them.

Pros

MongoDB has a great work culture and show a lot of transparency. Almost all of the directors or VPs on the Engineers side has a strong programming background. So the management is very Engineering friendly. A project is not considered done until all the tech-debt around it is cleared. Everyone around you are very helpful. The environment is very stress free with lot of fun clubs and activities going on.

Advice to Management

...No where is perfect but they try hard!

Pros

World class training, amazing technology, advanced sales process, travel to meet other teams, and some of the best sales tools in the market.

Cons

Lack of synergy across teams, too many first time managers, rarity of people hitting target is a major drain on morale.

Advice to Management

Hiring internally is a great thing, IF you have the right talent and experienced managers onsite to nurture. Not if everyone is a first time manager in the office... Consider the differences between the US market, and EU. The value: 'Intellectual honesty' should mean a freedom to be honest, when constructive. In application, that honesty is shunned.
