Process
I had to answer a ton of descriptive questions just for applying to the role. It took me two days to fill up their application form. They outright rejected me with no feedback whatsoever. If you can't spend five minutes of your time providing feedback, why on earth do you ask so many questions just on the application form? Either remove the descriptive application or start providing feedback. You can't expect people to waste two days of time just for you to come back and say no without a valid reason. Thank you.

Monzo Work Experiences
- 5.0Amazing company full of amazing peopleiOS Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, EnglandAugust 27, 2019Pros: The first thing that comes to mind are the folks I work with, they are kind, passionate and genuinely care about what they do and making Monzo a better place both for others to work at and also for our users. I feel supported by those around me and by my manager who I trust always has my best interests at heart to help me grow and develop. It also feels like there is a good balance between squad work and work within the discipline. There is a lot of autonomy both at an individual level and as a squad or as a discipline and this is something I think is easily taken for granted compared to elsewhere.Cons: There can definitely be crunch times at Monzo and for me, because of how much I enjoy what I do, that can mean some stress and difficulty maintaining a good work-life balance in those moments.
