Pros

MongoDB is going from strength to strength in our product and customer focus. We've grown really fast during the pandemic and it feels like execs are making both business decisions and company covid decisions quickly but always with our customers or people in mind. The hybrid working models rolled out last year feel like a realist future of work and are way more flexible than other companies ... for example, our in-office model is actually 3-5 days per week where my friend's company in-office is 5 days required in the office.

Cons

The biggest con is that the company has grown faster than the ways we do things. Sometimes it feels like we are still operating like a 500 person company. I know there are teams in finance and HR working on this, but it feels slow.

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)

Pros

Remote work and decent pay

Cons

Really depends on the team, however middle management needs to be addressed. Toxic culture that truly depends on who your manager is. Silent layoffs are made to seem "Performance-based", then job is re-posted at a reduced range. Proceed with caution and understand that HR is not your friend.
