Nerdery Engineering Department Employee Reviews

The company provides meaningful work with a good work life balance.

Review from Engineering Dept

I feel like Nerdery balances clients and employees really well. Sure, the work needs to get done, but it's not at the expense of the employees.

Review from Engineering Dept

The company used to be special because Nerds had a special place in it. Leadership hiring over the last few years has focused on people who improve numbers but not culture, so today we're really just another consultancy. Even my family recognizes how much less I brag about where I work.

Review from Engineering Dept

People as why I've stayed as long as I have and I always answer that it's because of the awesome work/life balance, the people I work with, and that I'm still consistently challenged in the work that I do.

Review from Engineering Dept

The growth opportunities and enthusiasm of my colleagues are really exciting. We aren't afraid to change and that is good. Some key leaders now care more for money than for their people which is wrong and I hope that their fearful public company cutthroat attitude doesn't take over.

Review from Engineering Dept

Communicating client works and financial health of the company.. Both good and the bad..

Review from Engineering Dept

Easy to approach and talk with.

Review from Engineering Dept

The conversation is clear, always as professional people and respect.

Review from Engineering Dept

I truly feel that Mike cares about his employees. This has been a clear change from prior to Mike taking charge of the company.

Review from Engineering Dept

At the root there is a strong ethic of work hard, show respect, do the right thing and always put the client first.

Review from Engineering Dept

We have become so production-oriented that we don't regard the needs of the individual the way we used to. Contribution is measured in terms of billable hours, and burnout is ignored. Culture feels like it has all but disintegrated because leadership isn't inspiring.

Review from Engineering Dept

paying attention to employees of every project size, employee retention, staffing for more than just specific projects. Have an actual company direction that is just what the client of the month want.

Review from Engineering Dept

Its a good balance of everything, its good that the management wants us to use PTO every quarter and reminds us about it..

Review from Engineering Dept

Medical coverage has been great with Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Review from Engineering Dept

Having unlimited PTO really allows me to not worry about my days off.

Review from Engineering Dept

The salary is the best part

Review from Engineering Dept

The salary is the best part. I think Nerdery has been good to me and I appreciate that.

Review from Engineering Dept

Perks are great if you have the time to enjoy them, but work-life balance has taken a real hit. "Flexible PTO" sounds great, but if you're so busy that you don't feel like you can take any, or there's nobody to cover you, then the benefit has no value.

Review from Engineering Dept

The message I get when salaries are kept low is that they ultimately don't care if I stay. If I leave maybe they don't replace me or rehire for less. If they must rehire for more, it's just their risk vs the guaranteed savings of paying me less now. I want to stay. Pay me closer to market rate.

Review from Engineering Dept

I have to juggle too much. time looks fine on paper. this isn't, and hasn't been a short time thing

Review from Engineering Dept

Pay that is more comparable to market rate and support for repaying student loans.

Review from Engineering Dept

I feel like there is too much to be offer and too less offered

Review from Engineering Dept

Every wants the best of each other and appreciate each other's success..

Review from Engineering Dept

We're in it together and feel like a team.

Review from Engineering Dept

We really support each other within the department, but projects have become a little less so due to the level of fatigue, and because helping someone else means you may not have time to get your own work done.

Review from Engineering Dept

I always receive support, they are very kind and responsible.

Review from Engineering Dept

My team is highly skilled, hard-working and gets along well. We actually care about each other.

Review from Engineering Dept

Help is always available when you are stuck at something without any questions asked. Even if its a dumb question.

Review from Engineering Dept

We have events that bring people together and have fun.

Review from Engineering Dept

Team members within the department are very supportive and know each other on a personal level. Facilities has tried really hard in the last year to come up with interesting and fun events.

Review from Engineering Dept

How employees will rally around co-workers in need.

Review from Engineering Dept

There are groups of people who really care about each other, the company, and our customers in a deep way.

Review from Engineering Dept

Learning from smart people around me.

Review from Engineering Dept

I enjoy my project and the people I work with day to day.

Review from Engineering Dept

Collaborating with others to solve complex problems, and having a clean and modern office with ergonomic equipment is all the reason for me.

Review from Engineering Dept

I most appreciate the emphasis on work/life balance.

Review from Engineering Dept

Being respected. Colleagues who care and love their professions. Having authority commensurate with my ability and being supported by my manager.

Review from Engineering Dept

Terrible pay, well below market average. The company is a shell of its former perks and attractions, and leadership is not committed to replacing the lost culture. The employees used to be top priority, and talent actually *wanted* to work here -- neither are true anymore.
