Big Nerd Ranch Response
7yThank you for taking the time to offer feedback. Big Nerd Ranch works hard to create a collaborative environment where brilliant, kind and hardworking people want to work for the long-term. The core values of the company haven’t changed since the company was founded and are the basis of our interactions with clients, students and employees.
In 2017, we faced difficult times as a company but we also learned hard lessons. Since that time, we have focused and invested in sales & marketing, management training for our leadership team while offering an industry leading benefit package. All employees have 6 weeks of PTO annually and up to 2 weeks for professional development. Some go to conferences, take a class or go on a week-long learning retreat with other Nerds. We provide a flexible work environment whether employees are in our Atlanta office or remote.
It is also worth mentioning that we do not offer prizes for 5-star reviews. We incentivize genuine feedback regardless of its positive/negative nature because we want to continue to grow and get better.
It is always our goal to attract and retain top talent who will appreciate the flexible and exciting environment that we offer. Big Nerd Ranch engineers average tenure is 3 years which is three times the industry average. We aren't perfect by any means, but will continue to grow and learn.
