Pros

No restriction on remote work is huge. The culture is very inclusive and welcoming. There is a variety in project work. The company seems to be interested in improving its processes. Company social events do exist, but I didn't feel obligated to attend.

Cons

This company always feels like it's moving in multiple directions at once, so a feeling of instability at the top and middle layers. For example, in the 4 years I worked there, my department (Business Analysis) was stood up, absorbed into the strategy unit, then absorbed into the delivery unit, merged with the product practice (which was doing the same job as us, just with newer and sexier lingo), then absorbed into the strategy unit (which, incidently is a different strategy unit from the first one, since that one disappated shortly after we were absorbed by deilvery). I guess what I'm saying is that the org chart can get messy. Also if you have allergy to buzz words and talking about how to build products over actually building them maybe avoid this place. Also they took away the free snacks when they moved locations in 2020 so that's a big minus.

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.
