Company background

Monterail is an innovative, successful web development company based in Poland. They serve a variety of clients, from startups to large businesses, all over the world.

Part of their success is due to a strong culture that values transparency & honesty, and a commitment to a flat organizational structure.

Objectives and adoption

Bartosz and the other co-founders of Monterail were looking for a bonus system, online or offline, that would match Monterail's culture.

"We were looking for a system that would recognize our values while keeping politics out of the process. As the co-founders, we felt that we were not the only people to be recognizing team members for a job well-done. We value teamwork very much, and we want everyone to share responsibility [for recognizing one another]."

Rolling out Bonusly was easy. Bartosz added the Monterail team to Bonusly, and introduced the concept at an all-hands meeting.

"The process was so simple - I just said 'Let's test-drive this for a month' and there was no need to explain it further."

Results

Bonusly worked exactly as hoped.

"It met our goals perfectly. There's not much to add - the system is working so smoothly. We feel that this is the best way to handle bonuses."

Employees appreciated Bonusly as well. In a presentation, they cited Bonusly "as a great way to recognize people for doing good work."
