Pluspunten

Interesting challenges and smart colleagues.

Minpunten

MongoDB, before 2023 was an incredible place to work. The problems were (and still are interesting), and comp growth through refreshers and equity appreciation were both good. There were still some issues. Benefits were abysmal. There was no 401k match. HR is not employee friendly on issues like relocation, immigration and short-term leave. The company recently implemented a amazon-style PIP quotas that make amazon look like a good employer. Employees were essentially laid off via a shady PIP that was essentially never meant as a performance improvement tool. Those on pip received no severance or option to continue healthcare or immigration support. The CTO came from amazon and the chief people officer worked for cognizant for a long time, and it clearly shows. Avoid this place if you have other offers. You judge an employer based on how it treats employees at times of adversity and Mongodb failed to do the bare minimum.

Pluspunten

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Minpunten

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)

Pluspunten

Remote work and decent pay

Minpunten

Really depends on the team, however middle management needs to be addressed. Toxic culture that truly depends on who your manager is. Silent layoffs are made to seem "Performance-based", then job is re-posted at a reduced range. Proceed with caution and understand that HR is not your friend.
