There isn't much room between desks and the desk of the person sitting behind you. 2nd hand claustrophobia :) Also the person who did the personalised map of Berlin is a legend, what a nice thing to do
@aculeus1971 5 жыл бұрын
Hrududu agreed. Love that personalised map idea, especially if the person compiling it has spent some serious time there or lived there. It’s actually a great idea for a ‘where to eat’ plan for an area like Liverpool St area near the Monzo (and my) office ... I live nowhere near London and so I tend to pick places I’m familiar with ... probably walking past some great places to eat...

I think you sound like a really decent person, as you’re relatively young and in a tech lead role, how do you find it? I can imagine the technology side of things probably doesn’t phase you but how about the people side of things? Offering advice and guidance to your team for people who could be older or more experienced than you. How do you manage that process?

@daverossy 5 жыл бұрын
Gerald Mariscotes I don’t doubt that for a moment, but the role of a tech lead is far more than just being a good programmer, it’s being a good mentor, decision maker and communicator. You become responsible for other people in your team and the team as a whole, generally tech leads don’t do much programming, they use their previous programming experience among other qualities to make decisions and provide technical and non-technical direction for developers.

I would hate a quiet open plan office. I would need music because the sounds of people typing and making all sorts of small noises would drive me crazy, and if I had headphones, the fact that I'd be annoying others with my typing etc would piss me off too. I'd rather my own office with no music, but obviously that's impossible in the UK.

Some things: 1) Is Bingo the office pet, or does someone bring him in? 2) Group lunch at 4:40 - This looks like it could belong in some promotional video to work at Monzo. Was this staged? Also, it seems like everyone at Monzo is in their 20s. 3) 7:15 Look at those miniature butcher knives! Now I'm asking myself why I don't know places like this! I imagine date night with Jake would be amazing.
@jakewrightnet 5 жыл бұрын
1) someone brings him in - there are quite a lot of dogs in the office at any one time but Bingo is probably in the most often 2) No this wasn't staged, but we realised at the time it looked that way.

Everyone uses a Mac at Monzo - you don't get the choice. That might change in the future but the reasoning so far is that it's easier to manage (provisioning laptops, providing tech support, tooling that engineers use, etc.) if everyone is using the same OS.
