Pluspunten

A lot of really nice people that you can make friends with. A lot of snacks, frequent events in the office, happy hour every Friday. Good opportunities to meet cool people. Higher management is relatively smart and are doing cool things with the company moving forward.

Minpunten

Huge egos and an overwhelming sense of entitlement. They preach a certain type of culture and then actively hire people who have no chance at all of fitting into that culture, setting both the company and the individuals up for failure. There is a huge dichotomy at play where half of the people are nice, hardworking, and kind and the other half are selfish, entitled, and come from insanely privileged backgrounds where they've had everything handed to them. Controversial firings as of lately with little to no explanation. One day you see someone in the office, the next day they're gone. Middle managers have been known to lie to your face about why certain people no longer work at the company. I've witnessed a member of "HR" (if you can even call it that) quiz employees about whether or not they'd eaten lunch yet. Apparently, they feel it's their place to police others' eating habits. I've witnessed an employee get chewed out in front of a large group of people by someone who was not their manager or in any way their superior, but they used to work at Google, so it's okay for them to act like they know more than everyone else. Favoritism runs amuck here. There are little circles of people from LinkedIn, Zynga, Google, etc. who form cliques. NerdWallet is nothing like what it tries to be. Everyone here is just waiting for a better offer, and no one is satisfied with their work.

Thank you for spending the time to provide us with this feedback. It's extremely disappointing to receive feedback like this because it is always hard to read about things online instead of hearing from our Nerds directly. When it comes to recruiting and hiring new Nerds to join NerdWallet, we thoroughly screen for culture fit. It is a critical part of our decision making process alongside their skills and backgrounds. Just like any up and coming start-up, we are attracting top talent from reputable companies such as LinkedIn, Google and Zynga. And individuals from these companies are going to be present as long as you are within the tech industry because of their background and experience. We take all the feedback from our reviews and present them to our Management Team to address the underlying issues rather than merely focusing on "damage control." We value integrity of our work and in our employees and very strongly disagree with anyone posting fake or dishonest reviews on our Glassdoor page because that does not help us gain accurate and truthful insights into our Nerds' experience. If you're still a Nerd, we hope you will voice your issues to directly People Ops, your manager, or a member of the Management Team so that we can learn more and you can help make your experience at NerdWallet better for both you and those around you. Sincerely, The NerdWallet team
