Siloed, toxic culture

Pros

Most benefits are solid, exception being no matching 401K which is kind of insane for tech. Embraces the use of AI for all employees.

Cons

MongoDB is extremely dysfunctional from a marketing POV. The functional silos built a culture of no collaboration and just checking boxes of doing the same things over and over again. Leadership at the MLT level is out of their depth for what the business needs out of marketing to grow. There is arrogance encouraged by a bully CMO who has her favorites that can be held to different standards than others and it is abundantly clear. That attitude trickles down into all of MLT and never really offer solutions, just criticisms. Pay is lower than other companies for the same role. Lack of clarity of what it takes to get a promotion. Blatant disregard for Employee Engagement surveys that have been on a decline for years that leadership takes no ownership on improving.

Pros

Company is small and has diversity

Cons

Management is chaotic. The manager did not know how to respect people and was not professional. My first time seeing a manager like that.

Pros

When I joined, the culture felt collaborative, values-driven, and supportive. There was a strong emphasis on growth and inclusion, and I worked with many capable and dedicated colleagues.

Cons

Over time, the environment changed substantially. The culture became increasingly political, and advancement appeared more relationship-driven than performance-driven. Transparency around role changes and workforce reductions felt inconsistent with public messaging, which created confusion and mistrust internally. In my experience, raising concerns through formal channels did not result in meaningful resolution. The environment became highly competitive and, at times, emotionally taxing. What was once a collaborative culture shifted into one that felt siloed and difficult to navigate. There was a noticeable gap between stated values around inclusion and how decisions were experienced at the team level.
