Pros

They do have a great kitchen with all the food you can eat.

Cons

This was the goofest company I have worked for. If you are a geeky nerd your are part of the in club. If you are anything else you are out. Almost cult like. I have been in sales a long time and this was the worse sales organization I have been part. Not very business like or professional. You have heard of controlled chaos this wasn't even that. They had people in management who had no sales experience. Expectations were totally unrealistic. Some of the things they did were just goofy. If you are in sales stay away.

This is Tom O’Neill. We don’t ever mean for our environment to feel exclusive, but it’s surely inclusive to a large number “geeky nerds” who likely consider this a place where they can really be themselves. We are all nerds about something – you can be a nerd about accounting, or just someone in accounting who’s a fantasy-football nerd. We definitely have sales nerds, and total nerds in sales who are total pros as well. This company is not for everyone, but it can be. I am sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your experience here, and I welcome an exit interview with you.

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.
