Monolith Takes the Cake (Very Seriously) 

Napoleon famously quipped that “an army travels on its stomach.” But Napoleon, ultimately, was a complete, dismal, exiled failure. The successful folk at Monolith would never model themselves after such a douche. However! We don’t shy away from the seed of a good idea—we grow that bitch! Thus! Monolith asserts that its “army of developers travels on its cake-filled stomach.” Monolith devs have cultivated a nearly insatiable taste for refined sugar, flour, and food coloring. Birthdays are the most common motivation for the enjoyment of a good cake, but really anything ranging from a company Game Day to an unbeaten soccer season to a Thursday is a legitimate justification for a delectable, themed pastry-cube. 
 

Double birthday: Danny and Tim. The cake is half vegetarian themed (Danny), and half meat-lover’s themed (Tim). Also note the hilariously creepy photoshop of their two faces melded together.
 

Russ, our Engineering Manager, gets some love from the team for all of his hard work.

  
Lucas “Hammer” enjoys his birthday. The real hammer that was cooked into the cake (but not eaten) now helps him to motivate developers to stay on schedule.

 

Hammer and Danny spent an extra $10 because they knew that Don likes pretty things (totally not because they forgot his birthday and wanted to make up for it).

According to his daughter, our AI Engineer, Tantric Matric, does sweet bike tricks.
