Pros: 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.

Pros: There is a good culture. There is flexible working. There is a good mission.

Cons: You have to wear many hats outside your specialty sometimes.

Pros: - Supportive team willing to accommodate any requirements and preferences - Full transparency on hiring processes and what to expect at each stage - Full transparency on salary bands and how you will be matched to a band - Very welcoming to people of all kinds of backgrounds

Cons: - Very high standard of interview so definitely need to prepare well - Quite a few interview stages so took a couple of months to get through all stages
