Pros: As the third full-time job in my professional career, MongoDB certainly stands out by offering me the opportunity to not only build cutting-edge technology, but also do it on an enterprise scale, which is used by millions of customers worldwide. There is a lot of independence, combined with a good structure and process, so that I am always aware of how the work I am doing benefits customers and the company. The company is very flexible and innovative around enabling distributed/remote work, which is evident by the fact that my team has engineers working from four different corners of the world.

Cons: The quick pace of innovation can sometimes lead to a lack of architectural structure and intricate interactions between components, which leads to difficult-to-diagnose bugs. However, management is dedicated to improving the componentization of the codebase.

Pros: MongoDB has grown substantially every year I've been here, while maintaining a culture that fosters working together to build a great platform for developers. There are a wide variety of career path opportunities and many ways to have impact, from public speaking to the Green Team.

Cons: Fast-paced growth isn't for everyone and comes with constant change. There are challenges to working in geographically distributed teams, but they are common to all companies above a certain scale.

Pros: Good benefits, work-life balance, and great work being done.

Cons: Incompetent executives. Other than that, it's pretty great.
