Pros

my peers are awesome come here if you want to focus on life outside of work, as the focus on work-life balance is top notch (you'll have to go against this trend if you want promos though)

Cons

super low pay (the word that's given out is that they're paying market rate for the location they hire in, but they hire across many areas including HCOL locations) not enough growth opportunities not enough transparency into pay (although they are slowly changing that) influence from leadership can be hit or miss (there should be a lot of emphasis on up-leveling soft skills for those roles, but the "trainings" don't happen enough)

Thank you taking the time to post your review. We continue to focus on our approach to Total Rewards, from a global perspective, which includes our approach to base pay, incentives, benefits and perks. We are very proud of the fact that our Total Rewards approach offers our employees a very competitive salary. As you shared, we continue to ensure that we are not complacent with our salary approach as we want to continue to attract and retain the very best talent. One correction, our market data is not specific to Wilmington, NC. As a global employer, we base our pay on all of the markets in which we operate. In the US, we incorporate many views into our compensation analysis that ensures we are paying against national, not city-specific, salary data. Again, we appreciate you sharing that we are continuing to offer a great culture and environment and that we are continuing to grow in areas. We know nothing is perfect and want to continue to be the best for our employees so that they can fully integrate their lives and their work and feel they can be successful in both.

Pros

Flexibility is really good if you have a family.

Cons

I honestly don't have any cons except they don't really invest in continuing education like they used to. Especially for external certifications. They also made pretty big changes to the downside for health benefits at the beginning of the year.

Pros

Coworkers are the kindest, most intelligent people I've ever worked with. They are always willing to collaborate with existing teammates and to teach new hires. Mid-level management and directors are good people who care about their teams. Work/life balance is well-maintained and they are extremely flexible with WFH needs. Benefits are decent, and they actively encourage social events. Flex-Fridays mean most people WFH those days. nCino experience and certifications are coveted by Financial Institutions, and look great on resumes.

Cons

Pay is really low compared to other companies, and customers (banks) often recruit employees from nCino for 1.5 - 2x the salary. High-deductible insurance used to be provided for employees and their families, with the entire deductible covered via company-provided HSA contribution. This went away last year, which effectively cut pay for employees $2000 - $8000 depending on single/family insurance. Social culture and perks of being in-office are slowly fading away since the last CEO retired. Used to have happy hour on Fridays in Bitty & Beau's coffee shop on premises, and even the CEO would hang out with the troops. Used to have food trucks on-site often during the week. Used to have spontaneous Nerf-gun fights throughout the week, and the atmosphere was a lot more fun.
