![]() ![]() I have never experienced such a detailed and open process of evaluating each other. Even when asking the next round of “last questions” once again, it seemed the involved team appreciated this rather than feeling annoyed by asking once again. None of my questions were left unanswered. Everybody was 100% transparent and open talking about the pros and cons of the opportunity and offered me to reach out to anybody in the company for addressing the difficult questions. The recruiters and leaders did everything before making an offer to allow me the chance to evaluate if this is the right place for me. When I started my conversations with MongoDB, it was very clear that the leadership team is not willing to make any compromises here. When you grow as fast as this, many companies are willing to make compromises on hiring people. I prefer “choose leaders and the company’s culture.” MongoDB is one of the fastest growing tech companies in the world. You may have heard that phrase “choose leaders not a company” before. On top of that enabling companies to create completely new business models and make the existing ones more reliable I believe made me consider the role at MongoDB. As a former developer myself, knowing I can help potential customers solve their biggest pain points in development departments with such a product excited me. MongoDB's capabilities are a gamechanger for developers on the one hand but even a bigger enabler for companies becoming more agile with their current and future business models. The DB Dev sometimes unjustified called a bottleneck for the business can therefore transform to a real business enabler. And, on the other hand, the new cloud capabilities make sure the life of the operations unit faces reduced risk and complexity for operating the environment. ![]() Because it’s easier and more flexible, this improves time to market for the line of business and development departments significantly. The document data model of MongoDB can be used more like a natural extension of an application logic by a developer rather than the need of adapting the application logic to the restrictions of a relational data model logic and language. MongoDB was developed for the single purpose of making the life of the Dev departments much easier, and with MongoDB Atlas, the operation of the database is not a bumper on the road of success anymore. ![]() It’s still true what Darwin discovered: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent it is the one most adaptable to change.” The companies lacking the speed of (app) development will be outdated by their competitors within the blink of an eye. This is not only important for high-tech players, but even more important for the traditional industry leaders in banking, insurance, automotive, chemicals, logistics, retails, etc. However, what needs to change rapidly is the speed of development of new applications and technologies to adapt today's business models and value drivers of the leading companies. ![]() What has not changed is technology’s need to use a data platform for storing and processing data. With AI, the digital twin, 5G, and virtual reality, the digital revolution is just at its beginning. ![]()
