Pros

Really easy to build great working relationships Tons of people who are passionate about their disciplines and interests Flexible scheduling and sympathetic HR Awesome after-hours perks and clubs Fun company events and gatherings

Cons

Departments are all misaligned with one another, leading to a lot of weird communication hiccups within them. Lack of ground-level advocacy has created "silos" Esoteric, detached messaging from executives Once-revered culture has become a shadow of its former self

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.
