Pros

If you're lucky, depending on your position and/or manager, it's possible to stay comfortable and with little workload. Most people are lovely and there is time to connect.

Cons

Because there is no accountability and many daily tasks are BS projects, it can be quite frustrating if you want to progress in your role or feel any sense of accomplishment or job security. Not a great place to further learn the skills you got hire for - projects are boring, very manual, some of the tech stack is great, but the tasks to deliver will not rely on that. If you're unlucky you might end up with a manager from nightmares. Not available, unclear what they do every day at work. Also unclear how some people get promoted.

Pros

Fully Remote People are very collaborative.

Cons

Silently, the company is carrying out a layoff, whether through direct cuts or by introducing a compensation plan that doubles quotas while reducing commission rates, ultimately driving many high-performing professionals to leave. The GTM leadership does not seem to have a clear direction or understanding of what they are doing, particularly when it comes to whether Monotype is positioning itself as a customer-first organization or as a font software licensing enforcement company. The new guidelines clearly appear to be a strategy to reduce headcount.
