Monster Worldwide Reviews

Pros

A great place to work. Hard work but very rewarding. Lots of career opportunities and loads of incentives.

Cons

Very hard sell culture, and things change very quickly in a .com company. Lots of competition in the UK market.

Pros

Thought leadership is a fundamental component to the consultative approach in all we do here. Being able to offer products and services that work in the human capital attainment business these days is awsome. Benefits, pay and balance are all pretty good for those who preform.

Cons

I'd like to see more initiative from leadership to cultivate communication and ideas from the sales front line. Often we get caught up in the day-to-day and great ideas slip by.

Advice to Senior Management

Institute round tables and think tanks to spur relevant communication and ideas that could prove to become valuable insight and opportunity.

Benefits, selary, co-workers, opportunity to trevel

Cons

Management, no chance to personal growth, coplicated processes

Monster Worldwide makes a difference by connecting people with the resources they need and helping them make the decisions that affect their lives.

The organization is dominated by sales staff.

Good people, flexible schedule, good location

Cons

Benefits package is not good at all...not much room for growth

Pros

The company are giving its employees very good working conditions, and a lot of opportunity to the right employees. There is a great wining mentality.

Cons

The daily priorities does not seem to match with the company vision making daily life somewhat skizophrenic. The product has improved tremendously but the american led functional departments do not understand how to be Global.

Pros

Nice office. Well known company. I really can't think of anything else that would be consider a pro to work there.

Cons

Did not like the management, the pay, or the product offering. Everyone with talent left to work for Linkedin, now they have a clause for new employees that they can't leave to work at Linkedin.

Advice to Senior Management

I would have sales managers manage and sell. Its a waste to have sales managers spend all their time micromanaging.

Pros

A few good people still there. Market-based comp and benefits.

Cons

Senior management (including marketing leadership) not focused on most critical strategic priorities. Culture of fear and CYA. Does not walk the talk of values and best HR practices. Leadership insulated from (or ignore) realities that drive success.

Advice to Senior Management

Fix "cons" listed in this review. Will require substantial leadership changes.
