Posting today to announce that we’ll be launching a series of Ask Me Anythings’ where we’ll have Monzonauts throughout the business come by for the Community to pick their brains
These will be carried out through a few different methods and that will be dictated by their availability and preference. Variety is the spice of life
Keep your eyes peeled for the first few session
Feel free to suggest a few areas you’d like to hear from
Anyone that deals with numbers, charts, graphs, data and that sort of jazz. I know Monzo can’t share exact numbers on things, but it would be interesting to see the trends. For instance the requests/what times does “Paid Early” generate? Is there a huge peak at 16:01 and then tails down or is it flatter?
And probably related to the above, anyone that works with the Google Sheets export. I want to see what sort of dashboard magic metrics they are using.
@AlanDoe you asked a similar question last year, and nothing ever came of that. I’d suggest perhaps having a look back at some of the suggestions folks left in that thread, because there were some good ones. @peter_g also did a poll in that thread too!
Already got them written down and opening up the discussion again as I’m able to dedicate more of my time to making this more a reality than an idea, with the potential to making it a constant feature.
I’ve got a few eager Monzonauts lined up but I’d love to hear if people have new ideas to add rather than bringing the old Topic back up.
I was reading through some of the many, many Q&As Simon did with Monzo staff over the years recently and realised that (to the best of my knowledge which could obviously be wrong) the vast majority of them from the top of the tree to the bottom had since left Monzo so at least there should be a chance to hear from some new voices, as otherwise my biggest concern would be repetition, or thereabouts, of things we’d already been told. It will definitely be very interesting to hear from some new people who perhaps aren’t so familiar with ‘the olden times’ of Monzo.
I’d also love a bit of a deep dive into some of the Systems-y/FinCrime stuff - some of the people behind the tools that spotted the Ticketmaster stuff, and similar talks there have been at other Fintech conferences.
