Mercy Chimpelo

"As someone who enjoys problem-solving, this has been a wonderful way to spend my time and, from that perspective, I believe Monocle provides a unique opportunity to get stuck into some of the most pressing problems facing financial institutions."

Arno Pienaar

"I say all of this to make the point that it’s not just about work, it’s more than that. It’s building meaningful relationships while doing meaningful work. The idea that what we do matters, speaks to the fact that “who we are” matters as well. That has been my experience at Monocle!"

Nhlanhla Motha

"I enjoy the level of autonomy you’re given as a consultant on an engagement. I find myself doing something different and uniquely challenging every few sprints, whether that’s a highly technical piece of analysis or something more traditional to consulting, like visualising process flows."

Karuna Reddy

"I work with and learn from some of the most brilliant minds in consulting on the various projects that I have worked on – but beyond that – my most enjoyable facet of Monocle has always been engaging in the emphatic social experiences that is core to culture of Monocle."

Thushar Hariparsad

"One of the best things about working at Monocle is the people. I have no doubt you will hear almost every Monocle employee say those exact words so that must mean that Monocle really is a special place to work."
