Pros

- The People. Everyone here is a pleasure to work with. The "code challenge" during the interview process ensures everyone who works here knows their stuff. People are always willing to help each other and are always pushing themselves to learn more and do better. They are also people I can call friends outside of work. - Opportunities. The projects you get assigned are sometimes a hit or a miss, but for the most part are always different and challenging. Resourcing has been open to assigning me to projects outside my primary discipline to allow me to learn and grow in other areas.

Cons

- Benefits. They could be a lot more competitive. I hate to see talented people leave. This is recognized by management and currently being worked on. - Support. The website states, "We believe in letting people succeed or fail by letting them try." This is great. The trust that The Nerdery puts in their employees, especially new ones, is refreshing. But when people fail, this sometimes isn't recognized soon enough and the support isn't given for the project to succeed.

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.
