Nerdery Employee Reviews

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

Review from Engineering Dept

Generally positive. Great group of knowledgeable people, nice office perks, equipment, and learning opportunities.

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 has been through some periods of growing pains in terms of identity, culture, direction from leadership, industry focus, etc. but has largely been a positive experience with plenty of growth opportunities (if you seek them out.) The best part is the genuine connections with colleagues.

Review from Design Dept

Pleasant, challenging, chaotic, exhausting, rewarding, competitive, loosely defined.

Review from IT Dept

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

Review from Engineering Dept

That they seem to care of personal growth.

Leadership team is approachable, has a positive attitude, and is engaged with / knowledgeable about the daily company operations.

Easy to approach and talk with.

Review from Engineering Dept

Daily involvement with a wide variety of nerds.

Review from Design 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

Agreeing to and then communicating goals and metrics that relate to my role. Utilize the systems and team members we have to greater affect rather than complaining about them or avoiding them.

Transparency, Communication, Building Culture, Setting and Acting towards a future vision, Securing Work

focus less on fire fighting and more on setting folks up for success – providing support, structure, and clear accountabili

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

Flexible PTO and ability to WFH

Review from Product Dept

Competitive PTO program, Low cost health plan, and 401(K) match.

Medical coverage has been great with Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Review from Engineering Dept

Flexible PTO policy – although unlimited is new, the company and staff is generally accommodating to make requests wo

Review from Design Dept

Compensation doesn't feel aligned to the value provided. Also, roles and titles don't always seem to be equivalent across domains in terms of pay or experience required.

Pay is below market rate for the work and responsibility, snacks have been removed from the office, and all the new open enrollment numbers are more expensive. It'd be nice if things got better year over year rather than worse.

Review from IT Dept

I feel they need to look at getting their pay scale, especially for their tenured employees closer to the market. It is such a sad sight to see new people coming in at times higher or equal than some people who have been here a long time. Sr staff should be getting higher pay..

Review from IT 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

Need more resources to effectively perform my job

Review from IT Dept

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

Review from Engineering Dept

Friendly team members. Good cadence of in person social and team building events. Team is local to MN and has a strong office presence compared to other departments.

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

Review from Engineering Dept

The vast majority are extremely collaborative and curious; they seek opportunities to learn and to share their knowledge.

Review from Design Dept

People are committed to producing quality work and apply themselves.

Review from IT Dept

Company alignment on the roles and responsibilities of the teams and a leadership team that guides the initiatives and goals for the teams. Client contracts that are clear on the scope and deliverables, as well as, better estimating. Also, not have the Growth team involved after a project starts

Many co-workers are disengaged, and it can be difficult to pull together energy or excitement.

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

Review from Engineering Dept

In it together & willingness to collaborate

Review from Product Dept

Frequent employee events and leadership team that listens to employee feedback.

We have events that bring people together and have fun.

Review from Engineering Dept

Cross-discipline knowledge sharing, lack of ego, and humor.

Review from Design Dept

The approach is with the candidate experience top of mind. Interviewers are thoughtful about the time ask of candidates. They also share a great deal about the pros and cons of working here at Nerdery as we may not be a fit for all. The team is also committed to providing immediate feedback.

Review from IT Dept

Learning from smart people around me.

Review from Engineering Dept

Getting shit done and being perceived as a competent group

Review from Product Dept

Solving problems and completing big tasks or projects

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

Review from Engineering Dept

Working with my colleagues and working on interesting problems that make use of my unique talents (not limited to production work)

Review from Design Dept

I mean, it's work.... "Excited" isnt how I'd describe most mornings before any job.

Review from IT Dept

The company lacks direction, frequent major shifts in company goals, uncertain success rate, culture has been slowly deteriorating, leadership is opaque in their intentions and goings-on.

Review from Marketing 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.

Review from Engineering Dept

There are a couple bad apples that tend to make things harder for my team.
