Pros: - Friendly, open work environment (almost everyone is willing to help you out if you have any questions or are stuck). - Good work-life balance. - As an intern, your mentors want you to succeed. - Fellow interns and co-workers are great, and it feels like a small community.

Cons: None as an intern

Pros: There was good WLB, and teammates who were intellectually curious and motivated, along with a nice office in NYC.

Cons: A lax hybrid policy often resulted in emptier offices, though it was team-dependent.

Pros: MongoDB is a fast-growing company where ambitious engineers can make a big impact. The culture is pretty much engineering-driven, which means if you are an engineer, you can (to some extent) choose and work on the project you think will benefit customers, the company, or the team the most. The company has been doing extremely well in growing its customer base and expanding to many countries around the world. MongDB, headquartered in NYC, has a Silicon Valley culture (rather than Wall Street culture), which is embraced by engineers. People wear casual attire and work from anywhere they like. The work-life balance is also great if you have family to take care of. The senior management team is very transparent, and employees always get the opportunity to ask them questions in all-hands meetings. There is great compensation (base salary + RSU refresh) and great benefits. Unlike other companies which have unlimited PTO but nobody actually takes vacations, MongoDB employees do take days off as needed.

Cons: Reorganization pain due to fast growth, but it also means new opportunities always come up.
