Pros

Only the fact that you can work from home

Cons

I worked at Monks for almost three years, during which I consistently gave my best as a professional. However, over time it became clear that there were no real opportunities for growth within the company. Despite my ongoing commitment, I never received a promotion or a salary adjustment, and there was a significant pay gap between employees with similar responsibilities. I also raised concerns about how the workload and work environment were affecting my mental health, but I was told to prioritize the client above my own well-being. That lack of empathy and support toward employees eventually drained my motivation and trust in the organization. Monks has strong potential as a company, but it needs to improve internal management, ensure fair growth opportunities, and truly listen to its teams if it wants to retain talent and foster a healthy work culture.

Restructuring

Pros

We had a lot of fun briefs coming through. Lots of opportunities at least on the account I was on

Cons

Constant restructuring and growth of the company makes it very disorganized. This lead to an extremely poor culture. Very heavy workload for some, lighter workload for others.

A sinking ship!

Pros

Relatively better work culture and life balance as compared to other ad agencies.

Cons

Zero support from management. Being treated like a second class citizen by international employees. No transparency. No bonuses. Didn't get a raise for three years.
