MongoDB is a very reasonable place to work. Boundaries around work/life balance are very well-respected. There is effectively a no asshole rule. Such people are screened for during hiring and will be fired if they get through somehow. Technical competence, ability to work well with others, and communication skills are highly valued and will be well rewarded.

Race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, neurodiversity, and gender are not the only kinds of diversity that exist.
Other viewpoints in the culture wars should not just be tolerated but protected as well, to the extent that they do not interfere with other people's ability to bring their full selves to work.
