Pros

The Nerdery's greatest asset is it's thoughtful, adaptive process for handling projects. Our project management process is constantly evaluated, thoroughly tested and improved. The Nerdery can handle your biggest project and your small-to-mid sized ones as a result. Developers are treated extremely well, and are given every opportunity to grow. We have Developer Advocates that are driven to make the lives of other developers better. We train developers not only on technical skills, but project management and interpersonal skills as well. Great place to work for seasoned developers. I wish I had found out about this place years ago.

Cons

We are growing so fast that it has caused some issues. Sometimes teams are reorganized due to the acquisition of new talent or the loss of existing talent. Such frequent change has become a source of frustration.
