Pros

* 100% remote options * Decent benefits and pay

Cons

My first year at Nerdery was great and I had some opportunities for learning, but the last year has been incredibly unstable. I recognize now is a rough time for a lot of industries, so instability is unfortunately common; however, the current chaos is not truly related to that. They hired a new Chief Growth Officer (CGO) who has not articulated a clear plan for improving sales and in turn, delivery employees have been laid off while the sales team continues to grow. Additionally, the CGO spent more time trying to restructure and consolidate power than planning. He also supposedly uses transcription software to record meetings, but has never formally announced he was doing so. I truly enjoyed working here in the beginning, but the chaos and instability just don't seem to have a clear ending. I would not recommend applying at this time - especially if you are a member of a marginalized group.

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.
