Positive Reviews From Nerdery Employees
- What makes you most happy at work?Being respected. Colleagues who care and love their professions. Having authority commensurate with my ability and being supported by my manager.
- What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?The culture is very much driven by the Nerds... which is really fun because it's changing all the time as new people start. We have such a positive and supportive culture, and we're always striving to do our best.
- What do you like best about the leadership team?They really try to marry the needs and voices of individual nerds with the direction of our business strategy - I'm continually impressed by how seriously they take the job of planning and direction setting.
Constructive Feedback From Nerdery Employees
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?As a non-billable employee, there seems to be less opportunities for growth (especially since I'm not doing directly client-related work) and therefore, it seems like there's less room to increase compensation. Even when I was doing work above my pay level, I still only received a 2-3% raise.
