Pros

Pretty good training. All virtual though.

Cons

Almost all of your success will be tied to your accounts. The other piece of your success is how well you can game the system and look busy to your leader. Most leaders, especially the VP level, are former order takers at the business, who are not good when it comes to advice or sales strategies. The biggest bro culture I have ever seen, if you're not in the club, good luck. If you are, you'll get the best accounts and all of the opps from the people not in the bro club who left. Being an Enterprise AE here without a hot patch is about the same day-to-day and pay as an SDR. They talk a big game about their sales process and MBA of sales, but it seems that is to get reps in the door and convince reps to stay. In my experience since, the sales org is not highly regarded externally. Take a look at all of the people who have left within the past year. I've never seen an exodus like this before.

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.
