Pros

They got some interesting technologies to work with. Decent pay. HR is pretty good. A bit of flexibility in working hours.

Cons

Management doesn't seem to trust their staff at all. Lots of micro-management from many levels. Lot of incompetence. Lot of arrogance. My opinion was generally brushed down, no matter what. Criticism or even slightly negative feedback is not tolerated at all. CTO got mad at me for not liking one of his ideas. When I asked him to clarify the benefits of his idea, he didn't reply but reported me to HR instead. Software stack is terrible, outdated and broken. Management has no interest in fixing it. Customers constantly complaining about stupid problems that should never happen in the first place. Yet nobody cares. They just hire some more CSRs to deal with it. Retaining customers doesn't make as much money as getting new ones with new projects. Short-term revenue seems more important that long term sustainability. That's why they constantly pump out half-arsed new projects and don't care if existing customers are unhappy.

Thank you for sharing your review and what you like about working at MNF. It’s good to hear that you think we have a nice office and a good balance between work and life. Salary and culture are very important to us. We don’t get everything right, and there is always room for improvement. I would be interested to understand more about your experience and would be grateful if you could contact our PX team for a confidential discussion about it.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I am glad that you enjoyed our unconventional work culture and that you enjoyed watching football. I care deeply for our employees and like to provide benefits that reward and recognise hard work. I note your concern about lack of information. Our rapid growth has been great, but I am mindful that it has also presented challenges, particularly to our employees. Unfortunately, I have not always been able to share everything, as we are a publicly listed company. I’ve increased the frequency of All Hands for company updates. However, I want to create an open culture and my door is always open.
