MongoDB

Flexible with the pandemic, which provided equipment so I could fully do the work comfortably.

Little to no documentation; never updated.

Management has a lack of experience and a lack of certifications, basically little to none.

Power trips are frequent with no HR support.

Women are especially treated poorly. There has been a mass exodus of talented and remarkable women at all levels, many with outstanding career moves. MongoDB is filled with people that have been there for 7+ years that wouldn't cut it anywhere else and <2 year folks that are still sniffing out the awful environment.

POC treated exceptionally poorly.

Departments do not 'work together'; they are more concerned with making each other look bad.

The gossip culture is out of control.

Lip service when it comes to DEI. They have one training a year. Looking at the attendance list, little to no leadership joined in the discussions. Also, no follow-up to change the culture.

Reporting microaggressions to a C-suite contact, I was hushed about it because it was a new manager that 'didn't know any better'.

Improve your communication and training for new managers. They were the main source of confusion, conflict, and pain.

Many people who were passed for promotions were instead passed over for the person who was the best 'friend' of the manager. It's very clear and biased.

The organization is a stereotypical tech org, and its negative reputation is spreading with all the attrition over the past two years.
