Innovation went out the door when ChiefMonster AND Monsternetworking failed. Little known facts but speaks volumes to their "innovation". They have great, glossy fliers and slick marketing but hey, who wants to work with a company that buys remnant advertising banners all over the web. As a client, do you want to target Joe Schmoe that is a passive seeker on weather.com??? Avoid Monster. Linked in will kick their butt in um, wait, that already happened. Monster is a joke.

I'm wondering what they mean by "speed to market" - considering they haven't released a serious new product in 3 years, does that mean they'll be ramping that up to every two years now? Nice how they mention twice that they created the online recruitment marketplace - not for nothing, but you're only as good as your next big idea, not the one you had 13 years ago...
