Pros & Cons
MongoDB
- World-class enablement — best training programs many employees have encountered
- Competitive pay with strong equity, especially for senior roles
- No 401k match and culture has gotten more political at scale
- Work-life balance is team-dependent — some teams have long hours expectations
Supabase
- Truly open-source DNA — build products millions of developers use daily
- No-hierarchy remote culture with extreme autonomy and generous allowances
- Intense workload — more work than a single person can reasonably manage
- Work-life balance rated 3.0/5 — fast shipping pace can be relentless
Bottom Line
MongoDB
MongoDB — check Glassdoor for detailed reviews.
Supabase
Egoless, fully remote culture with just one meeting per week and extreme autonomy — but the relentless shipping pace means work-life balance takes a hit.
