Prosple Profiles

I think working in the tech industry is amazing, and MongoDB is definitely a great example. We get free lunches a couple of days a week, have a great work culture and everyone seems to have quite a good work-life balance! 

I’ve travelled to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for training and to rural parts of Australia to work on ESP equipment. I’ve met people from different parts of the world and learnt about different cultures I wouldn’t have experienced otherwise.

I am directly accessing parts of the network that impact the customer, results of the changes I make can be immediately seen and felt.

Don’t feel like you’re locked into your choices early on in your career – take it from someone who had a career change 10 years into his first career.

The graduate cohort is a wonderful source of social support, and my mentor, buddy, and supervisors have been great sources of insight, guidance, and perspective throughout the year.

The coolest part of my job is the level of responsibility and autonomy I have in completing my work. A lot of the work I have undertaken has a direct effect on taxpayers, and my decisions are trusted and enforced.

On all the projects I have worked on, the team environment was and is productive and positive. On my current and past projects, the teams have and had built strong relationships.

Anything from international negotiations, running seminars, inputting into policy, writing briefings, creating databases and analytical tools, being part of committees and consultation meetings – it’s all so diverse and this is the part of my job I love the most.
