1. Employee benefits are decent but fall short, with subpar gym perks limited to a basic Cult corporate package and no inclusion of NPS or other valuable additions.

2. Every department except TechOps enjoys a yearly offsite, leaving TechOps unfairly excluded from this company-wide perk. Join the company if you are not joining TechOps.

1. Many folks in leadership left the organization in the last year.
2. The influx of new senior leaders, specifically CIOs and VPs—all Indian immigrants to the U.S.—has dismantled the company’s collaborative culture. They replaced it with cliquish, hierarchical practices that alienate long-standing employees.
3. TechOps blew over $100,000 on fake Agile training by the leader’s friend, with no certifications gained.
4. TechOps is a mess, with no offsites, while other departments jet to Europe and Australia.
5. MongoDB’s $200 learning budget is a pathetic joke, locked behind a year of service and repayment clauses.
6. There is no learning support, meaning no Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, or any subscriptions whatsoever.

Management needs to stop neglecting employee upskilling and invest real money in it. There's no formal program to support lateral role transitions, forcing employees to stagnate while the company pointlessly hires outsiders, tanking morale. Stretch project opportunities are nonexistent, further stifling growth.
