MongoDB Technical Program Manager reviews

- Lots of leadership churn leads to uncertainty and change in company culture. Most of the ex-Amazon people I've met have been great as individuals, but the culture has shifted noticeably to Big Corp, in good and bad ways - Stock very volatile - Work can be uninspiring at times. We're not doing anything that harms society but databases don't get me out of bed in the morning - Some colleagues are also uninspiring, although many have been managed out at this point

The atmosphere at MongoDB is challenging, with inexperienced engineers promoted to leadership roles lacking necessary experience. There's a lack of emotional intelligence training, and communication seems belittling. It feels like a situation where individuals with inflated egos, akin to children, are managing the company. The dynamic suggests engineers and product teams dominate, while others are perceived as mere minions. Expressing new ideas is met with swift dismissal and sometimes negative labeling. The technical program director appears unresponsive to feedback, sticking to outdated methods. Instead of fostering an open environment, she retaliates when confronted and lacks a strong engineering background. During culture amp surveys for anonymous feedback, she conducted meetings to identify contributors, even alluding to potential repercussions for her livelihood. Despite notifying HR, no actions were taken.
