Pros

You enjoy fake enthusiasm and a restricted set of options to solve problems

Cons

This is a review by a developer. This place is a run of the mill consulting practice that will squeeze the maximum amount from each client they can. There is no ability to branch out with new technologies or skills. Your expected to preach the toolset that is approved and not deviate. The upper tier is not technical so growth potential outside the approved stack is not possible. Don't believe the hype from HR posting fake reviews.

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.
