Pros

Well-established company with decent benefits and slim chances of ever going under

Cons

Since the stock price took a huge hit due to Revenue reports in 2024, culture has majorly shifted to become more blame-based and a lot of people have recently been put on pretty performative PIPs and then let go (with zero severance!) even when all PIP action items were adequately fulfilled... generally is a worse place to be now than a couple of years ago and many people are leaving

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.
