Monks reviews

No opportunities to grow, get promoted, get a raise. But they'll insist there are, because they love to lie and gaslight constantly. Says one thing, does another, congratulates themselves either way. They're also not competent jerks - sales are terrible and stock price is awful. Meanwhile leadership talks a lot about delivery but all their actions make it harder to do actual work for paying clients. That's if you don't get laid off. They love to lay people off. There are more layoffs than new clients.

On the flip side, acquisition by S4 is eroding many of the reasons I joined in the first place: • Empowered, bottoms-up culture being replaced by top-down command-and-control. • Radical Condor replaced with secretive, need-to-know information hoarding. • Sales funnel has dried up. • Getting on a new project is like The Hunger Games where the last one standing gets the job and everyone else is RIF'ed via the strict bench policy. • Career growth is limited with little to no room for advancement in title, pay, etc. • Executive management is largely absent. They'll show up to sign a new client contract, but otherwise you're more likely to see them posting pics from Cannes on LinkedIn or chatting with Elon about their CyberTruck on X than on internal communication channels. • Upper (non-exec) management is in over their heads, struggling to run a business with the scale and scope of the post-acquisition company. • Front-line management is stretched thin, having to perform double duty as senior individual contributors as well as people managers; resulting in being less effective at each.
