To add some color to this, the culture for a very long time would reward folks that came up with novel solutions to problems or novel products. These folks would dedicate some effort into the implementation, land the thing, then secure a p

To say nothing of the ethics of cheating, I think this behavior speaks to the value of the interview process. If it can be gamed so easily, it's likely not a great measure of the quality of the candidate and the companies that have im

Cool. I'm keen to try it. Wondering how well it works with multi-terabyte data sets.

How does interacting with reps have anything to do with "onboarding"? This is more or less an evaluation of how easy it is to take advantage of credits. I'd be more interested in how easy it is to use a credit card and get a

Mongo offers what? A license to use their software and have them not harass me or attempt to upsell me or force me to use their management tooling? Nah.
