Pros

Peers are pleasant to work with and willing to help each other. My direct manager is one of the best I've worked with and genuinely cares about the team. The office respects employees' time off and vacations. Work-life balance is overall OK. There are good employee benefits, albeit with a recent decline.

Product enhancement releases used to be slow, but recently they have picked up speed. There are lots of recent exciting updates.

Cons

The commission structure is arcane, incentivizing cross-team competition rather than collaboration. It also heavily penalizes individuals for factors beyond their control. When these are finally addressed after a few years, much damage has been done.

There have been multiple missteps in hiring Account Executives (AEs). Many newer AEs lack the technical expertise required to sell a complex product like MongoDB, and surprisingly few are willing to learn. This places an undue burden on SAs.

Advice to Management

Raise hiring standards and listen to feedback from employees on the ground.
