Pros

Great place if you're looking for a place to embrace "fun at work". People work hard but understand that everyone needs good work/life balance. I personally never had to work extra hours, and I was client facing. I have worked in places that expected you to be heads down the full time you were at work, but if I want to enjoy a round of ping pong or play a game in the middle of the work day, it's a place that welcomes fun as long as you get your work done. There's plenty of events at the actual office to at least get people together, and the many slack channels for hobbies and interests really helps connect, though it is quieter since pre-covid.

Cons

Sometimes projects don't have a perfect vision. This I don't think is a knock at Nerdery, but more to the industry as a whole though. We can't always plan everything ahead, and at a consulting firm, it's just hard sometimes because you have expectations of delivery you might not have as just a full time employee of the client.

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.
