Pros

It's a job to put on your resume

Cons

Everything was great until RTO/layoffs. Since then the company as a whole has been on a decline. More pressure, tighter deadlines, and overall worse culture. Company won't admit it but they are doing everything in their power to get people to want to quit so they won't need to do more layoffs. Most of the strongest engineers have already left. The office is basically half empty at all times and nobody really wants to be there. The "culture" is the most sterile corporate nonsense ever. Most people are underpaid by $20k, and raises are simply nonexistent. I've also seen very skilled engineers denied promotions for no reason. Management is terrible, it's a combination of people who want updates every hour and people that you don't even know exist. Seeing what was once a great place to work collapse over the past 2 years is sad. I wouldn't recommend anyone to work here.

nCino Response
2y
This post is so fraught with false statements that we will only respond with some basic facts: 1. Our attrition is consistently lower than industry standards. 2. We have an annual merit increase process for all employees and two additional cycles where we adjust high performer salaries for a total of 3 annual opportunities for pay adjustments; 3. All employees are paid within competitive salary ranges in the market in which they work. 3. We have added over 200 new employees since the beginning of our new fiscal year (Feb 1). The voice of our employees who are committed to actively helping to continue make nCino a great place to work is important to us. We are about to launch another global listening tour where we are capturing their voice to help us identify where we are doing well and where we have opportunities for improvements. We hope you have found a new opportunity where you too can be that positive voice to assist your new employer in being a great place to work.

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.
