Pros

- diverse culture, skillsets, and unique personalities make for a dynamic team that requires each member to contribute for a consistent velocity - free reign over internal products gives team more decision making power and more responsibility over these tools - cross team support is sturdy - benefits and perks are good - competitive salary, 401k (no match), health/dental/vision with HSA allowance, free lunch at office, home office setup with extra swag! - big learning curve and opportunities to shift gears into other teams within MDB - hybrid model gives flexibility on work conditions and locations

Cons

- non relational db has pros and cons. the biggest downside so far has been foreign key references. data consistency is managed by middle services, as opposed to a standard db feature

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)
