Beware the siren call...they'll say anything

Pros

What I'm supposed to say here is that the culture is amazing! Unlimited vacation time, snacks in the kitch, a foosball table.... But the truth is: these are all superficial attempts to make people feel like Monumetric is a great place to work. In reality, the executive team will tell you just about anything to appease concerns you bring to them and, while they claim you have flexibility and autonomy, the truth is the whole company is micromanaged by 5 or 6 people. And not well, I might add.

Cons

This company is simply far too young. Too young in the industry. Hiring talent that is too young and inexperienced. Run by executives that are too young in life and in their career. This leads to painful management, bro culture, office drama, rumors/gossip, and a very unhealthy culture all masked by kitchen snacks and a game room. I genuinely hope this company can save itself, but in all honesty, the future looks extremely bleak.

Pros

Flexible schedule and PTO, great co-workers.

Cons

The leadership at Monu is some of the worst you will experience. They are your typical bros with a start up who don't take feedback from their employees. All positions are flat across the company so there isn't any room for growth due to the owners managing and making all decisions. They will claim you are like a family and there will be fun and casual days where it might feel that way but they also pay you like you are family (very poor pay) and expect you to bend over backward for the business like it is your family who owns it. Monumetric will have lots of snacks, fun events and the execs will even play video games with you after work. They will also expect to be the top priority in your life and expect utter loyalty through the years without compensating for it.

Hi there reviewer, We apologize that you've had this experience here at Monumetric, we value this insight and the opportunity to be better. We take feedback like this seriously and have been very intentional to create a culture where everyone can grow personally and professionally and feel fulfilled in what they do. Regarding some of the specifics mentioned, we hope that you can relay these concerns to your direct report in your bi-weekly one-on-one or you may visit with our HR Representative at any time and leave anonymous feedback. We also supply our annual anonymous eNPS survey where you can share any of these views as well. Regarding your comments re: compensation: Over the last few years, we’ve developed employment pathways for each individual here. Every team member is in the driver’s seat in regards to how quickly they want to grow their skills and their income. Once you complete pathway milestones, this triggers title changes and pay raises. Our pay is calculated using an objective 3rd party service to ensure that we are very competitive in our salaries across the org for our industry and location. We strongly encourage that if you feel your pathway is incomplete, please consult with your direct report or HR - we ensure that each pathway is built on common ground that both sides agree to. Regarding paternity/maternity and PTO: We’ve never had a limit on PTO and we believe that healthy work/life balance and boundaries are important for peak performance. We encourage everyone to take the time off that they need to stay balanced and to avoid burnout. We are a business that needs to perform and we recognize that maintaining a clear message about looking out for one’s own wellbeing is critical. We have never denied an extended paternity/maternity request as we value that special time with young families above nearly everything else. It’s important that we always remember that “we work to live, not live to work” Regarding loyalty and safety: We are sorry you don’t feel safe or any loyalty from the executive team. This subject matter hurt the most in your comment because we feel we do our very best to keep everyone here safe in their roles, even during unstable times. During Covid last year when advertising rates dropped with the economy, the executives went without pay for several months to ensure we could keep the entire company intact and safe. At one point we did roll out company-wide pay cuts for a few months and felt that everyone understood the circumstances of the situation. Once we had certainty that the industry was going to rebound we not only restored salary levels but gave everyone pay raises shortly after. Regarding the “Family” culture: Very early in the company we did refer to the culture like 'family', but we changed that language to be "high-performance team" nearly 4 years ago. We strongly believe that to work as a team we need to have each other’s back, protect each other, and be considerate of each other’s needs. We do this so we can embrace the value and perspectives that everyone brings to the table and balance the workload and burdens of each team member. We hope this helps provide some clarity around the issues you mentioned and we hope that we can resolve these issues so we can enjoy your experience as a team member at Monumetric and continue to grow together.

Mostly good, with a few reservations.

Pros

This was a great first job out of college. I left my "dream" job in exchange for the culture that Monumetric had, and it was the best decision I had made in a long time. I was hired for one role, but that quickly transitioned to a different role that fit the company (and myself) better. I learned a lot about an industry I had never interacted with before, and quickly took over a book of business that included a vast majority of the clientele. The tech industry moves fast, and you learn a lot while trying to keep up. The team there is close-knit, collaborative, and very supportive. I made some great friends during my time there, and felt like they genuinely cared about me. We had fun together, worked hard together, and went through some pretty sh*tty experiences together. Unlimited PTO, snacks, and lots of activities as a group. It was a great springboard to my current role, and I'm glad I gained the experience I did!

Cons

About a year and a half in, things got ugly fast. We lost some significant clients, experienced a massive round of layoffs, and there were several issues externally that directly impacted things internally. The culture changed, quickly. There were a lot of closed-door decisions that impacted the whole floor, and the attitude in the office was bad (to say the very least). There's a lot of talk about the team culture and how to improve it, but that usually lasts just as long as it takes to read the next business book and start talking about that one. While there are a lot of activities as a group, as a predominantly male office, they are catered to the men. Lots of sports. Which is all fun and games...until they pick on the girls for not knowing what's going on. Feels very elementary school-ish sometimes. Very little opportunity for growth or upward movement. An opportunity for promotion only happened once in the two years I was there, and even then, that team was more or less dissolved when all the clients they'd worked with left. With a small team (fewer than 20 people when I left), the teams are pretty well-cemented, and all future plans were banking on a product so far in the future that many people were concerned about anything being around by the time that product launched. I don't know if it's changed since then, but unless you were part of the inside circle, there were very few updates given about plans after the launch or even how job roles would be impacted. The biggest takeaway I got is that Monumetric really likes the "next big thing." They want to be five steps ahead of the curve and beat everyone to the punch, but are lacking the materials/experience to perfect the products and services they currently offer. We spent a lot of time chasing after a shiny new toy rather than fixing the issues customers asked for over and over again. And when there were significant issues that needed to be resolved quickly, it seemed all our eggs were in one basket. Pay is on the very low end for the industry.
