I've now applied to Monzo twice, and on both occasions my CV was rejected without any meaningful feedback from the hiring managers. After the second rejection, I politely asked for clarity on what wasn't aligned with the role, especially given my extensive industry experience and the fact that I've founded a tech company myself. Unfortunately, I still received no explanation beyond "moving forward with other candidates."

I fully understand that not every application moves forward — that's part of the process. But what's disappointing is the complete lack of constructive feedback or transparency. It's hard to improve, or even understand your perceived fit, when nothing is shared. It leaves you wondering whether the decision was based on merit or something else entirely. For a company that prides itself on openness and clarity, my experience with their hiring process has been the opposite. I hope Monzo reconsiders how they communicate with candidates, especially those who invest their time and genuinely want to contribute to the company.
