I noticed last week that monster rolled out a new updated version of their website. They added a lot of new ajax stuff on the front, which might seem cool, but obviously they didnt adequately test it. After using it for several days, I have experienced a lot of bugs.
Here is an example:
I find a job I am interested in. I click the apply button and the dialog box for me to enter in my information is off the top of the screen leaving me unable to apply for this position. This is just one of the many user interface bugs I have found. Not being able to apply for a job is a pretty big problem if you are a job site. At this point, I have to say the new monster.com sucks.
Have you had problems with the new Monster.com? Let me know in the comments.

Every time I look for jobs I get an HTTP Bad Request Error. Monster is the only site this happens on. I called monster and was told to clear my cookies EVERY TIME I click on a job! Site sucks.
That website always sucked. I never get hired through their network. It’s total crap.
Too many unrelated ads all over the site, which slows it down. Script freezes my browser when I try to edit my information then finally asks me if I want to stop it, which I do. And there are many scam jobs posted. What does all this say about Monster.com? That they’re sellouts, will do anything for a buck. Used to be the best job site, now it’s the worst.
I agree with all of the other postings. Just tried to apply on monster.com and nothing but problems. After about 20 minutes I decided to google the name of the company, locate their website and send my information directly to their human resources department. Monster.com is a Monster.
I agree with all the above comments in my search for work. I will go through the whole process in a job that I am interested in, including a cover letter and when I go to submit, it tells me that my resume has already been added to that position. I don’t care, I want it to go again and again if that is what it takes. I need a job, I have been looking for a job for the past 9 months and no success, and monster is not helping one bit. They keep sending me the same jobs over and over again, then when I apply, I get the same response that my resume has already been submitted. So, why do they send the same jobs then. I like the old fashion way off apply for jobs, through the newspaper or pounding the pavement. This is getting me no where. I will be starving before too long.
