Pros
You will be surrounded - literally - by wonderful people. Young, intelligent, driven! There is plenty of challenging work to be done. You don't have to be fresh out of MIT, Stanford or UIUC to get in the door. There is an active "Databases Reading Group" so you will always know what the competition were up to.
Cons
The product has deep technical issues. Unless powering through other people's bugs is your cup of tea, this can make work very challenging. The company is more a bunch of hackers than a serious software company. You definitely need a college degree (unless you're interning!), but a PhD is more or less worthless at MongoDB.
