Pros: I have been working on the Storage Engine for MongoDB for over ten years now. I joined MongoDB via the acquisition of WiredTiger in November 2014. In my tenure at MongoDB, I have taken on a lot of different roles and responsibilities and am now a senior individual contributor. I am working with my colleagues to build the best storage engine in the world, as well as carefully crafting a diverse, inclusive, pragmatic, engaged, and curious engineering culture. During my time here, I've been able to actively contribute to its success and have clearly understood the vision and pathway to that success. The company is continually growing and evolving to meet changing needs; it's an exciting place to work, full of opportunity and challenges. One of the key testaments to how great the MongoDB engineering culture is, is that all but one of the engineers who joined MongoDB via the acquisition of WiredTiger over eight years ago are still working for the company.

Cons: It can be challenging to keep up with the constant change. It is feasible to opt out, but that's not my personality.

Pros: They care a lot, which is nice.

Cons: They care a lot, a double-edged sword and all that.

Pros: People were really friendly and supportive. Decent amount of ownership.

Cons: Engineering systems in place are a bit of a mess and aren't standardized, even within teams.
