Pros

Individuals, and some small teams, in the company are brilliant and can get amazing things done; In general employees are high quality and have a huge amount of potential.

Cons

Departments and teams have little interaction or cohesion. A lack of a vision leads to challenges executing and focusing on short-term goals and the inability to plan for longer term ones. There is no real company culture or ownership which make it hard to be personally invested or put in the extra time or energy to make something great.

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.
