MongoDB

it's a great company with teammates you constantly learn with. Management can be a bit micro managing and due to the rapid growth of the company, tasks can constantly change, becomes extremely challenging and you barely have any work life balance. Expect to work 10-12+ hour days (including weekends) and if you take the "unlimited" PTO which isn't really unlimited, you will fall behind. Just a lot of pressure and stress I've never felt before in a job. I feel like I've aged 5 extra years working here. 

Overall, people at MongoDB are extremely smart and talented and i believe the company is on a fast track in becoming more successful. 

The technology has been around for 10 years and has a mixed reputation in the enterprise world.

Developers want a dependable, global cloud DB and will go to Amazon for the service.

They tried to fill out the ecosystem with Stitch, Compass, etc but it's better served by companies like 3T or open source projects like GraphQL.

The majority of the employees lack experience in the database world, and have little work history, yet they're given titles and responibilities above their weight.

Too much pretension and amateurism, I'm moving on...

MongoDB is a technology company that is behind on technology. The market penetration of the original database product lets the company continue to grow at slowing pace, despite lack of strategy and innovation. It is prototypical example of a day 2 company.

If you want to take a break from your career while cashing a pay check, join! If you have any form of ambition and want to tackle problems, prepare for lots of resistance. Or rather, just don’t!l try!

A typical day involved working on high-scale distributed systems, collaborating with talented engineers, and solving complex backend and UI challenges. I gained deep experience with NoSQL databases, cloud infrastructure, and scalable architecture. Management was supportive and encouraged ownership and innovation. The culture was fast-paced but very team-oriented and inclusive. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with the rapid product evolution. The most enjoyable part was the opportunity to work on impactful projects using cutting-edge technologies.

Great company to work for, though not for the faint of heart or those who are more relaxed in work approach.  It's a fast moving train, and to keep on top of the job you need to be a person who keeps on top of your game.  

The company is growing and maturing, still implementing structure, while also adapting to the market needs amazingly well.  Some truly brilliant and creative brains are steering the MongoDB ship.  There are growing pains, but also a lot of forgiveness as learning experiences are valued.  

Be ready to buckle up for the fast ride, bring your A-Game, bring your innovation, and you'll have a great time.

While the company has a great product and constantly innovating, it can be pretty hard to keep up and continue to learn with the amount of work on your plate. 

I consistently work 10+ hours and still can not do all the tasks. Admin tasks and internal meetings are off the charts. If you take some of the unlimited PTO you pay the price in drowning before and after. 

Also, they like to change goals the last 2 weeks of the quarter and hold you to numbers without a line of sight or time to course correct. 

MongoDB started off an amazing job, with great pay, benefits, and opportunity.

Unfortunately, over the last 5 years, we've made a number of mistakes:
1. Excessive hiring of junior engineers are reduced transfer opportunities for middle engineers
2. Weak managers are unable or unwilling to take commit to actions to solve engineer problems. This leaves ICs in a position of wanting to try to solve problems, but unable to get buy-in
3. Increased rude behavior and literal screaming matches on Zoom became par-for-the-course during the pandemic and did not show signs of getting better.

This entire place I would avoid like the plague, it's the very definition of you either being a Yes Man in the Good Boys club, or you're just working the sewage work. Worse shifts, some of the most disposable of engineers I've ever seen.

Everyone is more concerned with hiding their mistakes and issues in lieu of actually fixing things. You find a problem with the software? Keep it to yourself because if you say something your job is gone.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The benefits and the hybrid work environment.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The company is run by a lot of narcissists. All they care about us themselves and their inner circle. It’s more politics than actual work.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Lee brack. Remote friendly. Hybrid.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Playing the politics game each and every day

Their services are innovative but if you don't look like the majority of them and don't fit in - you won't be given the opportunity to grow within the company. Managers say they're not micro-managers but turn around and micro-manage and are not accountable for their mistakes - they like to put the load on their nice colleagues while they surf the Amazon web and boast about their PTO.
