An Update on Diversity and Inclusion at Monzo

I think having diverse world views, politics and lived experiences are crucial to a successful workplace. We can’t exist in echo chambers and your values and ideas should be able to be challenged if they are firmly held. A good debate is a favourite past time!

However, if your world view or politics involves being intolerant of others then that is diversity we are happy not to have. Working in a kind, supportive environment is part of the reason I love working at Monzo. Work should be challenging in terms of goals and ambition, not in terms of existing as yourself. You should be able to be who you are at work without fear. There are plenty of companies that don’t care about that as much and if your values align with that then that’s where you should work. Not every work place is for every person, and that’s okay too.
