Pros

Would I recommend the company? Never. There is so much potential, and it breaks my heart to be leaving, but enough is enough. The only good thing to highlight is the recruitment process. They know what they are doing and are happy to be your first point of contact once you start. However, they have an impressive way to sell the company, even though the team is falling a part, again due to poor management. Something you would never sense or see before you start.

Cons

Constant burnouts, ridiculous high and ureachable targets, poor management who is looking away, and a junior HR ops team who doesn’t know what they are doing while leading important projects. But hey, can’t blame them for being in important positions. Only Their manager for not leading them correctly. My time there has shown me how people in high positions can act or at least think they can act when it goes down and hits the fan. No support is to be found, and when things aren’t going in the right direction, you will be overwhelmed with blame, also for things you have absolutely nothing to do with. Again, no one from management are stepping up and taking accountability, why should they? They are captured in a culture, where it’s okay to throw people under the bus and never look at the real issue. Themselves. An advise to pass on, sure.. Dear C-level, look around. How do you actually see things? When someone is finally speaking up. Listen to them. Act on it before it’s too late, and before they are forced to stay quiet and eventually leave the company. The values you promote is definitely not supported by the actions behind the scene.

Pros

- new management changes recently have created a lot more stability and clarity. - priorities are clear and compensation generous - product is good - customers are great to work with - interesting problems to solve - huge investment in AI makes this a great place to keep up the pace and personal skills - learning and development is constant and great! -transparent culture - people are really great to work with! Everyone is super motivated and genuinely passionate about the product. - generous pay and compensation

Cons

It’s fast growing so understandably there are teething issues - you have to have the right personality to thrive in a place like Monta. It isn’t for everyone. Support as a function is chronically underpowered and this adds a strain across the business and to customers which needs attention. Start up mindset and fast learning is crucial. Direction from csuite can change regularly so you need to be on your toes CEO can be a bit tough to work with at times - high expectations but minimal investment to support such expectations.

Pros

- Used to be full of driven and competent people, now most talent has left or is demotivated by current leadership - Interesting industry and product

Cons

- C-level measures performance by sycophancy and used AI tokens rather than actual results. Fear is the primary management tool. Fear of being publicly shamed, fear of being targeted, fear of speaking up. The lack of psychological safety kills independent thinking and innovation. - Politics is all that matters. People who are great at self-promotion but lack real skills are the ones who thrive here. - The HR/P&C department is widely perceived as a joke and doesn't address systemic issues. Monta's culture has already gained a negative reputation in the Copenhagen tech scene.
