MongoDB

Good money, but there is a price you pay for it.

Management was subpar. They promote from within, and the people who are promoted are not qualified. When I interviewed people, I was told to be hard on them and not really gauge how good of an architect they would be. After that, I realized that I needed to leave.

Sales teams are like used car salesmen. Slimy as you can get. The company loves the slimy staff. I had to get out of the slime to a place that would succeed in the long run.

I was able to get out after two years. The turnover rate is sky-high. Don't believe them when they say the turnover is low. They are lying to you.

The executives are micromanagers – no real leaders in the company.

Stop promoting from within people that are not qualified to manage and lead.

Check out how staff is interviewing candidates.

In two years, I didn't meet anyone at MongoDB that was qualified to handle an interview. This included the executive management.

Why, in the world, does a "C" level need to waste their time interviewing staff?

If the executives knew how to manage, they wouldn't be leading.
