Pros: There are some really nice women at Monzo.

Cons: - Not a place for women. Female staff are constantly sexually harassed and overlooked for equal opportunities. - If you're not with the "in" crowd, forget about it. You will be forced and threatened to work ten times more than people who are with the "in" crowd. no promotion for women. - There are so many popular people sitting around doing nothing all day long. They then get a promotion for being popular. This are massive reasons other fintech banks are getting further and further ahead. - The CEO is last in and first out each day, and doesn't seem to do much. - You can't even go to the people team. We're all aware of recent staff being let go for speaking up. There is no transparency at Monzo bank

Pros: - Flexible work - Remote-first - People are generally nice and helpful

Cons: - Extremely high level of autonomy - Very opinionated platform so not very interesting to work with - No real growth opportunities, they have a progression framework but forget about progressing - You won't grow technically at all but you might improve on your project management skills - Roles are blurred, you're an engineer, data specialist, project manager, test specialist, business analyst. Some people like that. - All information happens on Slack, lots of chaos, so many channels, you just learn to ignore them. - Lack of structure in the work you do - Priorities change frequently Wouldn't recommend if you're actually interested in technical challenges and coding or growth.

Pros: - Great career progression at times - Strong culture with values really embedded - Excellent mission

Cons: - Lost that startup feeling as became more embedded as a traditional bank - Long governance cycles - Theme of only hiring after something is blocked or delayed
