Pros

Great people, outside of leadership. CBT Nuggets hires smart, enthusiastic people, but provides them zero structure or growth opportunities. Great product, CBT makes online training videos. Benefits are paid for 100% and decent 401k match.

Cons

Lack of promotion, lack of growth opportunities, zero direction, zero accountability, lack of leadership, lack of diversity in leadership ranks & beyond, senior employees are apathetic and new hire's enthusiasm is sure to wane as time goes on. No performance evaluations or meaningful 1:1 meetings, leads to a lack of purpose & understood value. Individuals are responsible for doing their own training (mostly online video consumption) but there are no internal group training opportunities provided.

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.
