Pros

- Incredible culture. I have never worked with someone I don't like. - Nice office. I live nearby and enjoy coming in. Fridays are remote. - SOME of the restructuring is fine. More small teams are better than fewer large teams. Its good that we don't hyper fixate on agile and scrum anymore. The jargon was pretty annoying.

Cons

- Layoffs. Its expected to happen every 6-12 months. The frequency of it kills morale and puts everyone on edge. Realistically, cutting fat is healthy for companies, but the issue here is unpredictability. People are nervous about the company taking a shotgun approach or doing something counterproductive. - Salary. Way below market rate. If I didn't really like Wilmington I'd dip. - Transparency. I wish leadership would speak more clearly about company objectives and challenges. You can tell when they're trying to be obscure when they let it rip with the buzzwords and corporate jargon. - More communication TO engineers about what is going on outside of engineering. A general idea of achievements and challenges on the sales side of things, for example, is great information. I don't want to sit in their meetings, but a general understanding is good knowledge to have. This is improving a bit, which is nice.

Thank you for taking the time to share this so honestly. Hearing that the culture and the people are genuinely good is something we never tire of reading. That doesn't happen by accident and we work hard to protect it! On workforce decisions: decisions about our team are made carefully and with intention, not as a recurring playbook. That feedback is noted. On compensation: our goal is to be at market always - but we hear your feedback! On cross-functional visibility: we're glad to hear it's improving. Getting engineers closer to the full picture of how the business is performing, not just what's in their queue, is something we believe makes better engineers and a better product. And on AI: you said it well. We're learning alongside our teams on this one. The hype is loud and the nuance matters. We appreciate the grounded perspective.

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.
