Whenever I see a young gullible engineer, all twinkly-eyed and bedazzled by the MongoDB hype (or any other NoSQL hype), I'll send him a link [1] on a rather interesting talk by a very thoughtful Turing award winning engineer named Michael Stonebraker. It takes a couple of days for the charm of NoSQL to wane off, but eventually they'll always see how they have been fooled into believing without a sane level of critique.

After the first one, I didn't bite on the second and third, only to have some random manager overrule me, and then spend millions migrating off of these proprietary databases later (Vertica and VoltDB)
