Pros: Autonomy: Maybe I lucked out with my managers/team, but I have an incredible structure that allows me to pursue projects in a way I feel is most optimal. I can prioritize as I feel needed (with a degree of constraint). Mastery: Learning and personal development is prioritized above everything. We have an entire day dedicated to education where no meetings are allowed to take place. Purpose: #1 NoSQL database out there, and we truly see the difference post-MongoDB implementation makes in developers' release cycles, productivity, etc. It's remarkable that this technology is making such a huge impact across every industry.

Cons: None at this time, really.

Pros: Lots of learning. Fantastic place for career development/progression.

Cons: One needs to be well-versed with a fast-paced working environment to be able to keep up. Work-life balance can be difficult occasionally.

Pros: If your only objective in life is to earn as much money as possible, putting ethics and your mental health at risk, this is definitely the place for you.

Cons: The majority of management comes from BMC. For those who don't know what this means, in a nutshell: * Micromanagement at all levels. Under the fancy term of 'coachability,' they look for people who aren't going to discuss anything of the company's gospel (the 'sales process'). During the bootcamp, they will want you to repeat word-for-word their sacred mantras like a puppet without any critical thinking. * Toxic environment. Sales management is full of yes-men who simply try to survive as much as possible to bring home as much money as possible with stock options. You will just be a tool in this strategy, and your manager will be ready to sacrifice you if this means longer survival for him. There's no respect for people; especially presales are considered account executives' secretaries. * If you don't come from companies like BMC/BladeLogic, you will be taken into lower consideration regardless of your competences or objective value, because 'they know how to sell.'
