Great company, high pay - but don't bother

Business Outlook

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.
