Pros

- Initial excitement about perspective - Generally good people around

Cons

- Very poor management: lack of modern tech exposure, underestimation of the resources for projects, no drive by example culture, they feel as total strangers. - Favoritism: top management hires cowardly their favorite candidates and promotes them - Micromanagement: constant pushes and "status checks". You only have time to answer project management (who are really managing this Co as a sweat shop) Slack requests. - Management looks top down to their employees. One guy offered me a meal from his finished plate. Very poor joke or example of stupidity.

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.
