Pros: - CEO appears to be doing well. Monzo is profitable and gaining customers. - Working on great projects - actual work being done is quite fun (and challenging) - Remote first - Some very talented people if you get in the right team

Cons: - The workplace has maintained a toxic culture from its early days, characterised by an intense hustle mentality. - The environment is cliquey, making it difficult to integrate with long-standing employees, who often display ego/arrogance. - Expectation on employees to work evenings and weekends to meet unreasonable deadlines, without recognition. - Employees are overworked, with many experiencing burnout and taking sick leave. Despite this, deadlines remain inflexible, prioritising profit over employee well-being. - The organisation has *only* gender-neutral toilets, which fails to provide a safe space for women, highlighting a flawed system. - Great people overlooked for internal promotions, for no apparent reason. - Managers, in my experience, are dishonest.

Pros: Lots of good people, nice culture, potentially lots of interesting things to work on

Cons: Very product focused environment. If you're not on a product team and not one of the first 20 engineers, you'll struggle to progress Lack of direction from senior management. Other teams can't make up their minds but you'll be forced to chase their whims anyway Back office teams are under resourced and over worked, and do not have time to invest in improving their systems Doesn't do competitive salary reviews

Pros: This is one of the best places I've worked at.

Cons: It is hard to find faults in Monzo.
