Bewertungen für Monese

Pros

- inspirierende Vision und ein dementsprechend hochmotiviertes Team auf allen Ebenen - Sehr internationales Geschäftsmodell und Zielgruppe. Zudem hat Monese derzeit vier Office-Standorte in Europa - hier wird "cultural diversity" gelebt und umgesetzt - transparente Managementkommunikation zu strategischen und aktuellen Entwicklungsprioritäten - hohe Verantwortung für den Einzelnen in den meisten Rollen; dazu... viel dezentrale Entscheidungsfreiheit - starkes, sehr internationales und sympathisches Team: wenig Politics oder Intrigen

Kontras

- wer nicht selbständig und mit vollem Einsatz arbeitet und unbedingten Lernwillen mitbringt, hat es schwer - nicht untypisch für ein Unternehmen in einer starken Wachstumsphase: es gibt immer mehr spannende Projekte als es kurzfristige Ressourcen gibt ;-)

Rat an das Management

To be more organised.

Pros

Friendly colleagues, free snacks and beer.

Kontras

Lack of communication, especially when giving feedback to staff. People dismissed in a very underhand way; whole marketing team were told at 4pm, another person was dismissed at 5pm after being given one warning 2 weeks prior. Technically, just about legal but VERY CUTTHROAT. Favoritism of one particular staff member who would complain to HR about other colleagues because she thought they were giving her dirty... looks or they didn't like someone using a harsh tone to them even after they apologised to her. In any other company the HR process would be seen as a shambles.

You talk about improving people's lives through banking for the underrepresented yet are quite happy to squeeze out people when they fall out of favour not exactly as caring as your mission statement. The people who help you create this vision are as important as your mission and you try and represent that.

Pros

Awesome team to be a part of, everyone is supportive and friendly. The management goes to great lengths to make the workspace and work environment as pleasant as possible.

Kontras

Not many, apart from the usual problems associated with being a startup.

Pros

Good product and strong growth. Great exposure due to the current obsession around “FinTech”

Kontras

Very poor leadership. Lacking experience and quality in key positions. The results are quickly evident. Obvious lack of culture and identity struggling to distinguish itself from competitors. A technology enabled business rather than actually creating something new.

Seek help from those who know what they are doing. Hire experienced leaders who have seen and done it all before. Making it up as you go along will be cost you can’t afford.

Pros

Free beer, free snacks, some fun coworkers

Kontras

It's hard to decide what to start with when listing the downsides of working at Monese. An issue that applies to every department of the company is related to communication. As a new employee, you quickly learn that asking questions will only lead to getting passive aggressive private messages from your coworkers; and in order to avoid those, people end up not asking for help when needed. If an employee, for some... reason, is brave enough to raise an issue/share a suggestion, they get shut down by something I can only describe as 'aggressive bullying behaviour' (at least in CS channels). It is often easy for the 'leadership' to do so as they are withholding as much information as possible. There are no clear structures, no clear expectations. You are on your own with no one to turn to for help, your direct managers are useless and/or hostile and of course, there is no way to address any of these issues because feedback as such does not exist. But why would it? Everyone in leadership positions is utterly incompetent and has no skills whatsoever (and no desire to be better...). I often wondered if there was anyone at Monese that has ever worked at a well-functioning company before. I can not make sense of the extent of how poorly this company is run. Projects, ideas, issues are basically raised in group chats and no one is in charge of keeping track. They basically haven't heard of an Excel table. If you want to see if something has been brought up before, you can search the group conversation; obviously, if it had been phrased differently, you will be repeating something, so expect some 'constructive' messages on how you should have checked. However, there's a 99% chance no one ever even bothered to look at the original suggestion. This is just to give you an insight into how things work at Monese. I could go on forever. Of course, many of their issues could be fixed with better management and decent HR. But Monese lacks both of those. I do not recommend working for this company unless you want to experience what you want to avoid in the future or want to slack off for a couple of months. For CS people in particular, please know, there is no appreciation whatsoever, none of your managers will have a kind word (if they even talk to you). There will be no support for you to do your job properly, but there will be inappropriately timed micromanagement. You will have no trust in your superiors. And most importantly, there is no opportunity to grow and learn...
