Pros: * Above industry pay * Decent work-life balance * Good brand image * Great product awareness * Good benefits

Cons: Tough competition. Company matured, so career growth is slow compared to startups.

Pros: 1. Competitive, cut-throat environment 2. Epitome of the "Peter Principle" 3. Management knows "about" what you do, not "how" and what is required to perform your tasks. 4. If you excel early in your MongoDB career, your accounts will be assumed by a more senior (Principal or Master) SA as you do not know what you are doing (it must have been luck you landed this big account), leaving you bewildered and questioning yourself. 5. They leave you alone; there is a lot of cronyism. You will be ignored until it is time to get thrown under the bus.

Cons: 1. "Say one thing, do something else" mode of operations. 2. Very few women act as SAs -- cronyism. 3. Very few African Americans -- cronyism. God forbid you marry one and they find out; bi-racial is even worse. 4. No veterans -- cronyism (Don't have a disability). 5. "Good Ole Boy" sales management team. Nobody is over the age of 40. 6. Given MongoDB's place in the industry, low salary and lower commissions.

Pros: The technology is great; it just works and it keeps evolving and innovating. Customers love it, which makes my experience as a customer-facing employee indeed more pleasant. The leadership team is very experienced and committed, and this is driving growth at a fast, steady pace.

Cons: Facing some growth challenges, it needs a little more structure in some areas and to oil some of the processes. But that's part of the journey, and personally being part of shaping the company's future is one of the reasons I wanted to join. I can see that plans are in place and being implemented, so I'm confident we'll get there.
