      Good perks, bad leadership

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      People are nice, some of the work is interesting, paid family leave is fantastic. Providing open source tools for community use would be nice if we still had a community who used them

      Cons

      All major decisions must be personally approved by the CEO, and he has terrible opinions. Everything is always the #1 priority, leading the company to become jack of all trades and master of none.

      Fast-paced, mission-driven, and genuinely impactful -- a scrappy team that ships

      Pros

      The mission is real, and the work actually maps to it -- you can feel the urgency and purpose behind what the company is building. High learning curve in a good way: you’re constantly exposed to new domains (hardware + software + real-world deployments), which keeps things interesting regardless of team or department.

      Cons

      It’s a fast-moving environment, so priorities can shift as the company learns. The pace is intense at times, and you have to be comfortable with ambiguity and imperfect information.

      This company is a hot mess

      Pros

      I worked with incredibly talented people who were genuinely dedicated to building the future. The benefits and pay were fair as well until you get overworked because of all the reorgs.

      Cons

      CEO has a massive ego, it is no secret, anyone who worked at Mongo will tell you the same thing. He literally screams in meetings and has an iron fist over every product domain and will suck the joy out of any passionate engineer. The company has had no real customers for years, SE and Eng builds bespoke solutions for every customer which is not scalable at all for a company. The culture went from happy and exciting to toxic and miserable. By the time I left about 20 people had quit. And they did layoffs as well but framed it as performance based firing.
