Monocle Solutions Response
8yAs founder and CEO of Monocle Solutions, I am compelled to post a response to the review posted on this site on the 23rd June 2017. This "review" is an attack not only on our firm, but is also an attack on the ethics and integrity of our senior management. Further, it is an attack on me personally.
The author's intention is clearly to damage the reputation of our firm as far as possible. Whilst acknowledging the excellence of our employees - the "review" calls us liars, accusing us of wilfully misleading our employees. The reviewer - who claims to be a former employee - asserts that we are a contracting firm, as opposed to a consulting firm. This is completely false: there is not a single contractor at Monocle Solutions. Each and every member of our firm is a permanent, full-time employee. The site also seems to believe we are a firm of 50 staff, whereas in fact we are 3 times that size. Whilst we recognise the value of job reviews in general, in our view, the author of the anonymous post in question, has deliberately misused this platform.
Monocle provides its employees with extensive hard and soft skills training, supports and pays for all relevant further tertiary learning, provides significant cross-functional and cross-institutional experience, and substantially accelerates careers.
The top management at Monocle Solutions - to a person - are there by virtue not only of their hard work and determination, but also owing to their intrinsic ethical standards. I am proud to work with, and know as friends, these remarkable people. The previous "review", published without an iota of personal responsibility, attacks these very same individuals, who have spent - for the most part - more than a decade, dedicating their working lives to this firm.
Given its malicious tone and unsubstantiated, libellous accusations, the review of the 23rd of June says far more about its author than about our firm. The author goes one step too far, however. Each and every person is entitled to their own opinion, but to call me a bigot is unacceptable. These are cowardly libellous words written behind the comfort of anonymity, and abusing the true intentions of this site.
It is clear that not all individuals have the personal pride required for success, ultimately depending more on the immediacy of malice, rather than the fortitude of hard work and personal integrity. I would recommend to all who would consider a career at Monocle that they speak to as many people as possible in their considerations. And I would recommend to the author of the previous "review" that they focus their attentions on the amazing and unlimited opportunities that this world has to offer, rather than on the obvious deeply ingrained negativity that possesses them.
We choose to live and work positively and to build careers and to help and guide our clients. This individual must now choose his or her own way.
