It's a bad market, so do what you need to do. - Principal Nerdery Employee Review

One of my favorite things about working at Nerdery was how my job was different every day, kept me in my toes and kept my skills fresh and current.

Some of the departments lacked clear direction.

- Work live balance - Diversity and inclusion - Great designers and developers - Unlimited PO (but not really)

- 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.
