Pros

The office space is nice for New York City.

Cons

This place hires in groups and lays off half (overhires) sales team after 6 months. It’s a boys club with most people coming from the Amherst soccer team but will prioritize interviews for hockey plays and minor league baseball. You MUST drink the kool aid, don’t question anything- they won’t like it. If you’re female be prepared to spend a lot of time stroking egos. They convince themselves they’re doing a great service when in reality there is a reason traditional banks won’t make these high interest loans. Lots of potential to do massive damage. They’re kidding themselves.

Pros

NerdWallet is a great brand with a cool office in a great location, and peers with whom I'll be friends for life. Holidays are also plentiful. Unfortunately, the company has lost its way. Fundera has experienced extreme employee turnover, resulting in constant staff changes. This exodus included knowledgeable managers, long-tenured reps, and support staff who were instrumental, like in SBA and training. The good snacks and lunches and an occasional ice cream truck gimmick don't make up for it.

Cons

The sales environment is built on a counterproductive "churn and burn" philosophy that focuses on activity metrics over revenue results. This approach systematically forces out efficient reps who exceed their sales quotas but not their call quotas. The constant cycle of replacing them with new hires who inevitably fail prevents sustainable growth and creates a dysfunctional work environment, indicating a fundamental misunderstanding by leadership about what drives success. Overall, the business strategy in sales, lender partnerships, and hiring suggests a business that has lost its way.
