Pros

As others have said, there are a lot of good things about working at CBT Nuggets: * Free snacks, coffee, and catered lunches * Fun work environment * Decent pay * Very good medical benefits * Comfortable, open floor plan These combine to make the experience of working at CBT Nuggets an extremely pleasant one. But...

Cons

This is a company that doesn't actually know what it's doing or where it's going. There are no clear visions coming from leadership - or sometimes a chaotic hodgepodge of conflicting visions - and the management is frankly odd. Sometimes it seems like the whole company is just a plaything for the owner. But the worst con for working there is that apparently, jobs are not secure, regardless of competency. I noticed early on that turnover was high. I couldn't imagine why anyone would choose to leave, since everything seems great. But peoples' last days were announced all the time. I guessed that they were going on to other things, like Amazon. Sadly, I was wrong. Regardless of the circumstances of an employee's departure, they are announced the same way, so I realized after the fact that a lot of people were simply being let go, without any clear reasons why.

Pros

Excellent benefits - 5 weeks PTO annually, free healthcare for your whole family, 401k matching Fully remote workforce Regular bonus awarded through profit sharing Casual culture, work hard play hard type of vibe You can get a lot of experience on a number of projects or collaborative work with other teams

Cons

Not a great place for people who need really structured management or tasks - you need to be self-motivated enough to get things done quickly as a remote worker, and be responsible and driven enough to be able to figure stuff out on your own as it's very trimmed-down on the management and operations side. Don't work here if you're not comfortable with shifting priorities - we work fast to try new things and pivot quickly as needed.

Pros

Remote, team before everyone was let go.

Cons

Fear culture, no communication or rather, some manipulation. No collaboration amongst other teams.
