Pros

The Nerdery's greatest asset is it's thoughtful, adaptive process for handling projects. Our project management process is constantly evaluated, thoroughly tested and improved. The Nerdery can handle your biggest project and your small-to-mid sized ones as a result. Developers are treated extremely well, and are given every opportunity to grow. We have Developer Advocates that are driven to make the lives of other developers better. We train developers not only on technical skills, but project management and interpersonal skills as well. Great place to work for seasoned developers. I wish I had found out about this place years ago.

Cons

We are growing so fast that it has caused some issues. Sometimes teams are reorganized due to the acquisition of new talent or the loss of existing talent. Such frequent change has become a source of frustration.

Pros

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.

Cons

Some of the departments lacked clear direction.

Pros

- Actual client work is fun and we don't typically work with clients who are really aggressive with consultants. - Still have the opportunity to be remote

Cons

- Leadership is poor and consistently reactive. - There has been no real plan to improve the sales pipeline for nearly 3 years, but don't worry the man responsible for that failure was recently hired as a CEO elsewhere. - Layoffs happen, but there are examples where Nerdery leadership laid off employees who asked difficult questions or challenged leadership's ideas (e.g., retaliation). - We no longer have domain experts. Instead leadership is an account executive with an inflated title who might be pleasant, but doesn't actually have the expertise to improve the work. - Benefits were good when I started and now they are abysmal.
