Towards the end of my employment I was transitioned from a salary to hourly employee. After this transition occurred, my paystubs became incredibly convoluted and it was difficult to understand and ensure that I was being paid the correct amount. Along with this transition, we were informed by the department head that 2 hours of overtime a week would be authorized without mgmt approval. However, after submitting my first time sheet with 2 hours of overtime (due to the intensity of my position) I was interrogated and told not to work anymore overtime without consulting my manager. At the time of my employment, the compensation across the company was abysmal for almost every role. C-suite executives would often account for this by saying that our benefits were "unmatched" but after job searching for the latter part of 2022 I found that nCino's benefits package was pretty comparable with most companies in the Salesforce ecosystem. While I did end up making 33% more than my starting salary after 2.5 years worth of raises/lateral promotions in the same department, it was still significantly lower than what I had the potential to make elsewhere and was one of the driving factors behind my decision to leave. The free snacks, workplace beers, and other banal "benefits" don't make up for the obscenely low monetary compensation the nCino offers their employees. I did not agree with the return to office 5 days per week, especially after being told multiple times by the CEO that nCino would be embracing the hybrid workplace environment moving forward. The product itself was incredibly difficult to support at the time due to rampant customization during implementation and often required unique knowledge for each customer. There is a policy in place that requires employees to remain in the same department for 2 years before applying to internal roles in other departments. All in all, I would recommend nCino to anyone that is looking start a Salesforce oriented career. However, I probably wouldn't stay any longer than 2-3 years. My observation during my period of employment was that employees (especially in Support Engineering) would stay for 2-3 years, and then move on to other Salesforce companies that provided better pay.
