Pros

Product is incredible and about everyone want to use it. Doors open at C-level and the product is starting to be used in ever more strategic projects.

Cons

Within one year, CEO, CRO, CMO and CFO have left the company. New sales management is introducing a radically different culture. Change was needed, but we're now headed in the total opposite direction by people who have no opensource background. Lots of people (about 10%) have been laid off recently. Beside the changes, middle management is still incapable of injecting passion or even out-of-the-box thinking. Doesn't matter if you're doing a crappy job as long as you report on it properly.

Felt like there was a lot changes happening at the executive level

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.
