Pros

There WERE really smart team members (who have been laid off), snacks in the office (there probably aren’t any now after all the lay-offs, lmao)

Cons

CEO is a delusional liar to both investors and employees, CTO is an angry baby who throws tantrums when something goes wrong (which is very often), head of growth is clueless and thinks he understands social media, COO is a bully beyond belief, CFO got fired for making the company run out of cash (sorry Norris, hiring Revolut’s dumped CFO won’t make Monese become Revolut much to your dismay) Abysmal treatment of employees, who work so hard to improve the poor product proposed by the CEO. These hardworking employees are the ones who secured the company’s funding, only for the incompetent leadership to blow it on disgraceful product ‘features’ (think snowflakes in the background of the app for the Christmas week), marketing ‘campaigns’, and ridiculous expenses + luxurious trips for Norris. Do not work here. The leadership DO NOT know what they are doing. Monese B2C will not exist in a few years’ time, and Monese B2B is Norris’ path to becoming the millionaire he wants to be (after selling out all of his employees).

Thank you for your feedback. The characterisations of people and events above are troubling and not ones we believe to be fair. However we are always looking for ways we can improve as a team and therefore value feedback from all current and former employees. We can assure you that our People team has not and would never post fake reviews on Glassdoor. Thank you for your efforts whilst you worked at Monese.

Pros

Work environment is great, passionate colleagues to work with every day. Variety of tasks that make one's days different and challenging. And there are dogs running around in the office.

Cons

It's open office, so it can get noisy and difficult to find a quiet corner if you really need to focus.
