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. Come Nerd out with us at www.nerdwallet.com.
