Pros

They offer above average pay and work with huge enterprises. Lots to learn.

Cons

Culture is quite toxic and just recently, they laid off so many employees with a lot of them now struggling to pick themselves up. You can easily get stuck in a role within Monks. It can be a thankless job and you will feel like you are just a tool and never really part of a 'family'. Loyalty means nothing to Monks.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
