Vantaggi
Monotype is (or rather was) a pretty relaxed place to work. Flexibility and an emphasis on family and balance. That changed 18 months ago, however. See cons...
Svantaggi
New CEO announces new vision - purely revenue based for the next five years. New senior management team rush to barely baked strategy and a disaster of the acquisition of Olapic. This is a company who believes in its own delusion - that they are a branding company, or a design company. Nope: they sell fonts. To a dwindling market, too. Wall Street knows it. Employees know it. There are many cons to working at Monotype now, unfortunately. 1. Purely revenue driven org operating on a broken sales model that will hit in a few years. 2. Human Resources focus on resources and not humans. 3. Poor benefits. Stock is used regularly for compensation but on writing this the stock has hit a four year low. It will go lower. 4. If you're looking at middle management, then be careful that this tier of management is disempowered in the org chart. All decisions and autonomy are escalated to VPs. Everyone else has to step in line. Or else.
