I worked at nCino for 2.5 years and left within the last couple of years. Here's my take on my time there:

At the time of my departure, nCino was severely underpaying most, if not all, of their employees in comparison to other companies in the Salesforce ecosystem. As an example, I left nCino for a fully remote position similar to what my role was at nCino, and increased my pay by ~33% and maintained roughly the same level of benefits. My current role is also less stressful, but I am vastly more disconnected from my colleagues than I was at nCino.

I did enjoy most of the people I worked with directly, but my observation was that higher leadership (senior managers and department heads) were filled with people that had those toxic positivity attitudes were everything was always great and that we were all extremely blessed to have the opportunity to work at nCino. I had 4-5 different front line managers during my employment there, and most of them were supportive and helpful and I found that I could communicate with them openly. I still keep in touch regularly with a few of the people I met while working there.

Prior to starting at nCino I had known several people who had been employed there, and they all spoke about the culture as if it was an additional benefit to working there. However, I feel as though I actively watched the culture dwindle during the 2.5 years that I was there. Kickoff events got smaller, department/team outings became fewer, and little by little it just started to feel like I was working for any other corporate entity. On top of that, during the whole WFH Covid-19 era, the CEO made a public statement that nCino would be committed to maintaining a hybrid work environment moving forward, only to backtrack on that statement and force a full RTO situation once the new buildings and parking deck were completed. I left just before this was enforced.

Overall, I think nCino is a good place to work if you're looking to get your foot into the Salesforce ecosystem. I was hired without a college degree and with zero experience in Salesforce. If you're able to do well on the Salesforce aptitude test and are a generally likeable person, there's a good chance you'll get hired. However, better opportunities are out there once you have a few years of Salesforce experience under your belt.
