Chaotic, no trust, over processed - Production Monks Employee Review

Pros

There are pockets of good people. Healthcare is unparalleled anywhere and time off is welcomed.

Cons

As the company acquired so many studios, there was no infrastructure in place to manage the scaling size. Consolidating every entity to a single name was a disaster. It has caused tension between teams that would never normally work together, no trust to make staff or business decisions, a bloat in leadership and account teams, and constant layoffs. Raises have been on pause for 2-3+ years and expected to stay as such. An obsession on the next buzzword (was Metaverse, now it's AI) and selling any work is causing issues on the ground level. People just want to do good work and be enabled to make decisions to do the work well.

Pros

There are no pros to working here - even one star is too much

Cons

Management was largely uncommunicative and gave inconsistent direction. There was little to no onboarding structure, and getting basic access or information felt like pulling teeth. Leadership seemed more focused on optics than on actually supporting their team. Account management practices were poor at best – they have no clue how to manage their clients, financially or otherwise. There was no clear ownership, processes were all over the place, their workflow offerings are a joke, and the internal culture reflected a real lack of accountability at senior levels. Most concerning was the overall treatment of employees. There's a moral disconnect between how this company presents itself externally and how it actually operates internally. People are not valued here.
