Pros

Management tries very hard to have an open, honest atmosphere where people can be their authentic selves.

Opinions are valued, and everyone seems ready to teach you something new.

Managers are very understanding of the need for free time.

Leadership gave the option for permanent remote work in as many roles as they could, just because it helped some work better.

There are excellent training opportunities and mobility for anything within the company.

The company values, all over the website and company swag, are progressive and are actually intended to be lived every day.

Cons

Past history of high-pressure management and revolving door in sales, though that seems to have changed.

Company is not yet profitable, but it is making great strides in that direction.

Fully-remote work is still new, so there are some kinks still to work out.

If you are an extreme social conservative, this may not be the place for you. Sorry, the company values are very progressive by some standards.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work! I'm happy that some of the negative reviews I've read of MongoDB on this site seem to no longer be relevant.
