- If you're a woman working for this company, watch out. Be prepared for sexist attitudes. I was given a great annual review and a considerable raise. However, a few months later when I had problems with another male coworker - I was bullied by upper management and eventually laid off. They showed hardly any sensitivity to the situation - it was extremely unprofessional. I would pursue them legally but due to how the situation happened - there is no proof or recourse, just suspicions.
- The vacation policy is not ideal and was confusing to understand at first due to the wording in the contract. In the first year, you can accumulate 1 week of vacation time. I've worked at more conservative establishments with better vacation policies than The Nerdery.
- This place doesn't seem to have vision or direction. Honestly, I think the vision (Luke Bucklin) went down in a plane crash.
- I would agree with previous reviews - projects are sold in which sometimes The Nerdery doesn't necessarily have the developers who have the skills to complete the projects.
- A large portion of the staff is paid under market. Don't expect to come here and make a decent salary unless your negotiation tactics are swell and can back it up with awesome skills. Come here with the expectation that you'll learn a ton of new skills and the next position hopefully will pay a decent salary. A lot of Nerdery Alumni have gone on to do great things.
