Pros

This is THE best company I have worked for in my career. The company culture was outstanding even when going remote through the pandemic. The product is extremely interesting and company benefits were great. Great flexibility, collaborative environment it was extremely hard for me to leave. This is a great company to start your career or end your career.

Cons

Pay is the biggest negative here. I kicked butt for more than 3 years while here and never received a raise. There is extreme nepotism here at Monotype and if you aren't buddy buddy with an executive, you most likely will never see a raise or a promotion. Sales are treated like God's gift here and are paid extremely well. The CPO insists on budgeting at the 25th percentile which is low in the market. Most orgs are flat, lack of promoting.

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.
