Pros

Seemed like a great company with great potential.

Cons

No culture except work and bow down to company leaders (who are husband and wife). Zero creative freedom. No job can be done unless you write a multiple page document as to why you feel the job should be done (even if you are highly qualified)

Pros

The person to whom I directly reported worked very hard. She was also savvy in her hiring choices. My co-workers were all very good at what they did. And, they were also supportive of other members on the team. I worked with a fabulous group of people.

Cons

I don't think I can say it any better than the person who wrote the review "Run for The Hills". It is a superlative summing up of the conditions under which people laboured at Moncel. The company owners are selfish, arrogant, incompetent people who constantly push employees to over perform to meet ridiculous timelines.

Pros

Working almost anywhere else will feel like a vacation There's a great job market out there The red flags are easy to identify

Cons

Within the first month of joining there were 3 people that left, including the head of HR after two weeks, a massive red flag. Then their head of marketing and shortly afterwards sales. Many people disappeared with strange ambiguous reasons or no notice at all and people just didn't see them on Slack. Afterwards started the terminations and more quitting. The 2nd head of marketing along with an SEO developer, then followed by their head of operations in Australia. Shortly afterwards their only PM left, their only senior developer and the list goes on. In 6 months over 8 people left or were fired by two meglomaniacs who call themselves CEO / President. There's only 20 people in the company, their turnover rate is absolutely insane. Their expansion into the USA was laughable and showed a pure lack of understanding of business practices in general. They expected their revenue to be in the hundreds of thousands in their first month, and multiple millions in their first year. This is with a new brand, few products in limited regions, a new PM carrying 7-10 projects, a new head of marketing running in many directions, a single developer and 1/3 their content team in an ongoing war. They not only didn't make hundreds of thousands but instead lost money, which is to be expected with a new product line. They then started terminating people because their ego was so large, they couldn't admit they were wrong. I've never heard of anyone ever being paid a bonus. They usually fix a large 20% bonus with unrealistic expectations and if you miss by any percentage, even if it's their fault, you get nothing. I've never heard of a single person receiving a single penny from their bonus, ever. Roles here a fluid, they expect you to be entrepreneurs like themselves. They'll pile one role after another on-top of you till you break and can't fulfill your day to day responsibilities. Your next move is to find a new job or get fired.

Those who strive to excel and have a desire to succeed don't point fingers. They recognize their weaknesses and diligently work on them -- we can say the same for all key players at Moncel. Our customer base has grown by 107% this year and headcount by 169%. This was achieved because we set ambitious goals and purposefully organize efforts to pursue them despite setbacks or resistance. That is our culture and we attract equally ambitious individuals who thrive in that environment and want to be a part of the journey. We wish you the best of luck and success with an organization that is better suited for you.
