Pros

Some lovely talented people work here.

Cons

That talent is often stomped on. I could go on about the issues written throughout these reviews, horrible, mean and frankly incompetent management throughout the entire organisation. Awful value of worker time and wellbeing, I didn't realise until I left how awful the chairs and desks were because the majority of my back pain stopped. They are also letting people go left right and centre without replacing them. Meaning they are clearly losing money fast. The entire company's finances are propped up on shaky marketing deals which fall through because monocle simply is nowhere near as popular as they make their investors believe. I will leave the advice to managers part blank because they don't really know what that word means unfortunately. I wouldn't go near Monocle with a ten foot pole personally, and neither should you.
