Pros & Cons

  • The culture is amazing at MongoDB.
  • The effort your superiors and the company as a whole put in to accommodate your personal and career growth. The culture is also second the none, where everyone inside and out of your own team is very easy to chat with and there is a lot of events to take a break from your day to day.
  • The company culture, environment and all the perks like free food.
  • That I get to create new features that are constantly deployed out into the real world.
  • Really cool people, flexible working environment
  • Moving from a "start-up" vibe to a more corporate vibe has its growing pains, and slightly less flexibility. Growing teams mean management is stretched thinner.
  • Need more healthy snacks, only chocolate isn't good for my sugar levels...

Culture
Generally everyone is very nice and friendly and approachable. Everyone is always keen to help, and the work place encourages a work life balance. I have definitely made a lot of friends that I can interact with outside of work.

Diversity

Diversity
Plenty of women who work with me, ethnicity isn't an issue and my LGBT colleagues are just normal colleagues. As far as I know, the company is generous with child care stuff but I'm not too certain on that front.

I'm a front-end software engineer. My day starts off with a stand-up in the morning to provide any updates and blockers that I have to my team and to also listen to what other engineers have to say. The rest of the day varies depending if I have any meetings to attend. The majority of my time involves writing code and working with designers to push out the project that I am working on. I also review any code changes made by other engineers too.

Performance is reflected on a bi-annual occurrence, which provides you the chance the evaluate on what you have done and improve on your weaknesses. My manager is very transparent and is willing to do whatever it takes to pursue any career aspirations.

Office Work Environment
All the amenities that you need to get through your day to day the office space has. In terms of the dress code, there is none really just that you have to be respectful for those around you. For example, when its super hot, shorts and a tee is acceptable!

Pretty good! My team isn't too fussed with whether I'm doing my work in the office or at home, as long as I'm able to keep on top of everything!
