Pros

I can't say enough good things about MongoDB. Everyone, regardless of role, is super smart and super talented.

Most managers are former individual contributors and highly technical.

We value diversity and have people from all walks of life and backgrounds. We build great products and make smart bets.

MongDB is a fantastic place to grow your career and make a difference in the world.

Cons

We don't always live up to our ideals, but when we don't, we admit it and adjust.

It is no longer a small, nimble startup. While we do our best to make quick decisions, our decisions impact more and more teams, requiring more sign-off to ensure that we are not breaking someone else's work.

This is a necessary evil as we grow our platform, and I still feel that we are striking a good balance between innovation and stagnation in red tape.

Advice to Management

Keep valuing employees and our diverse backgrounds. Keep hiring top-notch talent. Keep striving for more diversity in the workplace. Thank you for everything you do to make MongoDB a great place to work.
