Pros

- Smart, fun, engaged co-workers. So many people at The Nerdery are amazing humans with skills and backgrounds that you'd never expect to find in a technology shop. Expect to laugh and make friends while you work. - Good work/life balance. - Enjoyable environment. The snacks, dogs and atmosphere are everything the marketing promises. - Extremely talented, dedicated development team. These are people who really do code day and night because they love it. Their enthusiasm is infectious.

Cons

- Growing resentment within employees towards management and the company's change in direction/priorities. This has led to heavy attrition, notably among the company's top talent. Some of the recent departures would have been unthinkable a year ago. - Lack of communication from management - I was let go for "performance" reasons despite months of perfectly acceptable reviews, with no real warning of an apparent performance drop. I am not the only person that this has happened to of late. - "Company Values" matter right up until they don't. Unfortunately, that "don't" is a wider and wider area - I watched senior leadership lie to clients in some shockingly ugly ways, just to avoid embarrassment.

This is Tom O’Neill. While I fully agree that your former colleagues are amazing humans, I’m disheartened to hear your critique of management’s lack of communication – but I’ll own that, and get better at it. I’m not aware of any breach of integrity among leadership in client relations but take this seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to connect in person. I wish you the best in your future endeavours.

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.
