Launching MongoDB Veterans is an employee affinity group created by Cory Waddingham, a Senior Technical Services Engineer and US Navy veteran. The group aims to support veterans at MongoDB, increase recruiting outreach to veterans, and provide a safe space for them to share their experiences. The mission of the group is to increase veteran recruiting, encourage collaboration among veterans, and foster a sense of community within the company. Cory's experiences in the Navy have taught him valuable skills such as teamwork, communication, and adaptability, which he believes are essential for success at MongoDB. The group has been positively received by both employees and veterans outside of the company, with many expressing enthusiasm for the opportunity to work with fellow veterans who share similar experiences.
