Pros

- Voted top med-size work place last year, and I definitely agree - Weekly happy hours - Fridays at 4:30 - Very open, respectful, and supportive culture - Really good about recognizing people - Filled with really smart people - Lots of career opportunities since it is growing extremely fast (doubling in size & revenue every year for past few years)

Cons

- You need to be 110% while you are at work - Very fast paced and can be stressful (so although you can work a typical 40 hour week, you might be thinking about it after you leave) - Developers & PMs need to keep their timesheet accurate to within 15 mins - Growing pains given the breakneck growth

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.
