About NerdWallet
NerdWallet is on a mission to help provide clarity for consumers and SMBs so they can make financial decisions with confidence. We work hard to cultivate an award-winning culture in which our Nerds can realize this mission, and we pride ourselves on the programs we’ve created to positively impact the lives of our consumers, our Nerds, and our wider world.
NerdWallet invests in its people, fostering an equitable and inclusive workplace in which Nerds can thrive professionally and personally. This includes a remote-first philosophy that allows for diverse recruitment and hiring, development programs to facilitate career growth, and a twice-yearly pay equity review process. NerdWallet also has five employee resource groups (ERGs) to provide inclusive, supportive peer communities within the workplace: NerdOut, NerdParents, NerdWomen, NerdWallet Women in Data & Engineering and Nerds of Color.
NerdWallet invests in its larger communities through our Corporate Social Responsibility program that was created to support those traditionally locked out of the financial system. Millions of Americans are unbanked or underbanked, lacking access to credit and other financial products that some of us take for granted. Through our CSR platform, we’re striving to make a tangible difference for these underserved communities.
NerdWallet’s award-winning culture was named an Inc. Best Workplace in 2022 and has also been recognized by Fast Company, Fortune, People, and more.
Our values
Our values shape everything we do. They're not just words written on a wall, but lived and breathed every day by every Nerd.
Consumer, Company, Team, Self: We lean on each other to succeed. Understanding different viewpoints and celebrating our coworkers' wins lead to stronger decisions and teams.
Relentless Self-Improvement: We take responsibility for getting better every day. We humbly embrace what we don't know and aren't afraid to ask questions.
Open, Candid, and Constructive: We are active participants in every interaction. We share feedback with clarity and receive feedback with courage.
Informed Risk-Taking: We set actionable goals that challenge the status quo, knowing it’s safe to fail so long as we learn along the way.
Ownership: We ask, “What can I do to improve the results?” and view challenges as opportunities to find the right solution.
