Used to be a great company - Product Manager Nerdery Employee Review

- Leadership lacks expertise and consistency, resulting in decisions that often feel misaligned with both team needs and client expectations. - The management structure is odd. Account managers are tasked with overseeing the entire delivery team — designers, engineers, PMs, and POs — which creates confusion, friction, and widespread dissatisfaction. - The absence of a VP of Product leaves Product Managers working in isolation, with little cross-team collaboration or knowledge sharing. - The sales pipeline has weakened significantly, leading to recurring layoffs. If you’re not staffed on a project within six weeks, you’re automatically let go. Many talented people have been laid off or have left on their own. - New “pilot” projects are consistently under-resourced. To cut costs, leadership avoids assigning a dedicated product manager and expects designers and developers to absorb PO responsibilities. This results in disorganization, unclear direction, and a poor impression with clients.
