Pros

* There are still a few OGs that have stayed through the bad times holding down the fort that are talented and fun to work with (gave an extra star for these wonderful people) * Good place to get experience with AI you can then apply at a better company * Work-life balance is excellent because no real work ever gets done * There's a pinball machine that works sometimes * It's a place to work in tech in Wilmington if you live there and have low standards / self-respect

Cons

* AI is literally a religion to the ELT. They are obsessed with replacing people with AI, and applying large language models to everything possible, even when it makes no sense to * Layoffs, penny-pinching, slashing benefits, bad incentives, a buffet of hubris, paying for what used to be free drinks * Constantly acquiring useless companies instead of committing to finishing projects * The size of the company since going public has attracted an army of button-up wearing business people that contribute no value yet make it impossible to get anything done * Neverending identity crisis over being built on Salesforce but with no real plan to address it

Pros

Flexibility is really good if you have a family.

Cons

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.

Pros

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.
