Pros

The culture of living the six is best demonstrated by teams, where each team has subtle differences in cultural values. Many are passionate about their work and desire to learn and provide a quality product. The diversity of technical stacks is high including modern and obscure, outdated ones (since times change what is the best in industry) introducing extra challenge. Cross-functional communication is a part of day-to-day life and a valuable skill to grow. Snacks and drinks are provided for consumption throughout the day. There is some flexibility in working remotely 1-2 days/week contingent on responsibilities and deadlines. Benefits include health, hsa, dental, vision, and if applicable, student loan payments.

Cons

nCino lacks transparency about career growth and pay rates throughout different levels, and does not pay like other companies in the industry in Raleigh, Durham, or out-of-state. Growth opportunities in salary are usually 3-5% contingent on performance, which can be limited by the specific product suite or team you are assigned to. Promotions are too difficult to obtain. Teams continually shift despite executive management indicating this would stop, meaning you may shift managers or development teams regularly. Fully-remote work is not an option despite some flexibility. Culture seems to be on a slight downward trend recently. Clarity in direction is highly advertised by executive management, but not typically followed through on in practice. Technical debt is rarely addressed, creating larger piles of problems over time. 2 layoffs in 2 years with regular elimination of positions in-between despite company growth and acquisitions. Resources are not usually allocated for initiatives pushed.

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.
