Pros

Highly Collaborative Environment Awesome Perks Casual Dress

Cons

For a company that vocally claims to be diverse and inclusive, it is incredibly disappointing. As a person of color, I have experienced microaggressions and an insane amount of insults during my time with Nerdery. During my interviews, the managers talk about how the environment is supportive, but in reality, there is no room for growth, and they try their best to find every "little" detail to prove that you are not a fit with the company. The company is completely toxic and full of hidden racism. The current leadership is "clearly" inexperienced and does not know how to lead or influence. The environment is a heavy "control and command" culture with no sound strategy. This company lacks inclusion in terms of leadership style and engagement. As a minority, I highly would encourage you to not waste any effort in seeking full-time, part-time, contract, or even partnership with Nerdery.

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.
