Pros
+Nerdy, cool coworkers (for the most part) +A reputation for getting things done (so very true) +Friday end of day event with food and beer every week (the food wasn't terribly great anymore by the time I left) +Friendly dogs for the petting
Cons
-Management: inexperienced -Management: people who have been there the longest may not actually be the best for leading entire departments -Management: secretive, yet allegedly transparent -Bad relationship between certain departments -Bad attitudes and put downs among staff are not unheard of -Nobody really tells you what to do until you do it wrong (and wrong can change from day-to-day) -Inability to think long term I got the feeling that the sudden death of The Nerdery's founder left the ship without a captain. The replacement captain means well, but (imho) is not capable of leading the ship over the next big wave.
