nCino is an organization scaling and redefining itself for the AI opportunity. As such, there are lots of chances for someone to come in and contribute meaningfully.
Cons
Because things are changing so quickly, there's a clear focus from the top but competing strategies and priorities when you get a layer deeper in the organization and across departments so it doesn't feel like the company is moving as one motion.

I honestly don't have any cons except they don't really invest in continuing education like they used to. Especially for external certifications. They also made pretty big changes to the downside for health benefits at the beginning of the year.
Coworkers are the kindest, most intelligent people I've ever worked with. They are always willing to collaborate with existing teammates and to teach new hires. Mid-level management and directors are good people who care about their teams. Work/life balance is well-maintained and they are extremely flexible with WFH needs. Benefits are decent, and they actively encourage social events. Flex-Fridays mean most people WFH those days. nCino experience and certifications are coveted by Financial Institutions, and look great on resumes.
Cons
Pay is really low compared to other companies, and customers (banks) often recruit employees from nCino for 1.5 - 2x the salary. High-deductible insurance used to be provided for employees and their families, with the entire deductible covered via company-provided HSA contribution. This went away last year, which effectively cut pay for employees $2000 - $8000 depending on single/family insurance.
Social culture and perks of being in-office are slowly fading away since the last CEO retired. Used to have happy hour on Fridays in Bitty & Beau's coffee shop on premises, and even the CEO would hang out with the troops. Used to have food trucks on-site often during the week. Used to have spontaneous Nerf-gun fights throughout the week, and the atmosphere was a lot more fun.
