The challenge

MongoDB wanted a meaningful way to help employees understand its six core values by giving people real context and practical examples they could relate to in daily work. The learning needed to feel authentic, reflect MongoDB’s culture and support consistent understanding across a global audience.

Our approach

We partnered with MongoDB’s learning and subject matter experts to shape a suite of interactive modules, with each module exploring one core value through decision points, workplace scenarios and reflective moments that encourage learners to consider how they would respond in real situations. A simulated internal communication environment, inspired by everyday team messaging platforms, was created to give the experience a familiar and realistic feel. All content was aligned to MongoDB’s brand and built using custom eLearning development principles to ensure a seamless and engaging experience.
Arck was a great partner. They were extremely thorough and timely in their communications, quick in their work output, and very receptive to our feedback.

The impact

Authentic digital experience
A familiar communication environment supports natural engagement.
Consistent global culture
Shared learning across teams and regions.
Values brought to life
Scenario-led modules connect values to everyday behaviour.
Practical decision making
Learning supports reflection and real-world application.
MongoDB now has a bespoke learning experience that helps employees connect with company values in a practical and engaging way. The scenario-led approach encourages thoughtful decision-making and creates stronger links between organisational values and everyday actions. The use of a familiar communication interface brought authenticity to the experience and helped learning feel natural rather than formal.

Looking ahead

The learning now forms part of MongoDB’s wider culture and onboarding programmes, reinforcing the importance of shared values across teams. It continues to support reflection, discussion and consistent understanding throughout the organisation.
