Monzo

Monzo truly values transparency and openness, making it a unique company to be part of. Everyone feels empowered to question any decision and make their opinions heard. We work alongside the brightest people from around the world and there are no egos to be seen.

There is huge potential for career advancement at Monzo, and we've already seen plenty of people make the transition from customer support into engineering, for example. The management at Monzo is very supportive of its employees. We have very flexible hours and have a wide range of benefits generally not seen at a company of this size or age.

There are growing pains with a company growing at this pace. This is a workplace where common and best practices change every few weeks, potentially along with whatever you're working on.

Many projects are seen as "ship and iterate". Some might find this exciting, others can find it exhausting. As we grow, the culture will probably change, and only time will tell how well that works out. Since culture is such an integral part of the company, it will be a pain point if it isn't figured out.

Keep iterating on engineering management, it gets better every quarter.
