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
Wayve
- Great culture — smart, friendly people with a supportive and inclusive familial bond
- Immense creative freedom and autonomy; founders are humble and open to being challenged
- Career progression framework is unclear — salaries and promotions feel arbitrary
- Very ambitious demands create vulnerability to burnout; processes built on the fly
Bottom Line
MongoDB
MongoDB — check Glassdoor for detailed reviews.
Wayve
One of Europe's top deep-tech companies with excellent Glassdoor ratings (4.4) and a cutting-edge AV research environment — but expect an intense pace and most roles are London-based.
