Pros

Great people work here - smart and kind. I have learned so much from amazing leaders and they are the reason why I have stuck around for so long. Great benefits.

Cons

I am coming into the company from an acquired company. Media.Monks hasn't had performance reviews in 2 years and the timelines are constantly delayed. We are losing people because only emergency promotions and raises have been awarded. And I guess it isn't seen as an emergency that the entire company hasn't had the process complete yet. Media.Monks grew through acquisition and I haven't seen the same level of care about employees since. We seldom have all-hands or virtual team events. To add, I feel work life balance has been impacted as well. Overall, it feels as thought the company has given up what made it special.

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.
