Monks reviews

- management constantly lies about lay-offs - if they say your job is safe, just assume it isn’t. Update your resume constantly. - really, really cold HR team - I’ve never been talked down to by so many people in a workplace - you will not grow here - you will work on the client they hired you for and then fire you when they ultimately lose the client because the “agency” can’t deliver on the lies the execs sold to them in the pitch process - this is not a one stop shop - they cannot do media and streamline it with creative. Everything is clunky. - this is everything true agency culture stands against . Which I guess isn’t surprising given the history of the company. (Or 10000s of small independent agencies they bought up and tried to mush into one)

- Layoffs seem to happen every pay period with no notice or transparency. You won't realize someone on your team has been laid off until you suddenly notice that they've been deactivated on Slack. Communication from upper management has been extremely poor. - They will stretch you across multiple accounts and not let you have enough time to dedicate to each client. - Weirdly supportive of AI tools. They laid off a ton of designers and in the same week encouraged mandatory AI training, appearing very tone deaf and lacking in empathy.
