Isn’t the entire company pretty intense / toxic ? But idk specifically

Agree. That’s what I have heard too for tech groups and overall. Also, pretty toxic & bad culture overall. Though someone had to say tax is not that bad, but not sure how true that was. But I do know that they fire people in a NY second.

Apparently, AMZN hires people knowing that they will leave in 2 to 3 years, so they squeeze you all that time.

They hire a certain type of person. Go getters. High performers. You’re surrounded by that culture. They are all really smart and probably have type A personalities.

You should join if you get the chance. Stellar team.

I work with a lot of them.

I don’t think it’s intended to be a selling point. Just an overall observation.

Should still be a great experience.

They replace 20% of their team every year to “encourage greatness”. Super toxic.

2- Is there actual strategy work or is it mostly transformation, with the word "strategy" being slapped to every single project? How long are the projects? Are most project sponsors actually at the Csuite level?
3- Is Monitor thriving or dying?

It’s a clash of the generations that value tangible things like money, houses, cars and one that values time, experiences, personal online image. Thoughts?
