Saw some post about it. Curious if there is any legitimacy to it.
In addition to violating the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) by firing a mother a week after giving birth, NerdWallet has been accused of a number of other unethical practices, including:
Misleading customers: NerdWallet has been accused of misleading customers about the terms of its loans and credit cards. For example, in 2017, the company was fined $2.5 million by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for failing to disclose the full cost of its loans to customers.
Engaging in deceptive marketing practices: NerdWallet has also been accused of engaging in deceptive marketing practices. For example, in 2019, the company was sued by the State of New York for misleading customers about the independence of its financial advice.
Creating a hostile work environment: NerdWallet has also been accused of creating a hostile work environment for its employees. In 2021, a group of former employees filed a lawsuit against the company alleging that they had been subjected to discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.
In addition to these specific allegations, NerdWallet has also been criticized for its overall corporate culture. Some former employees have accused the company of being too focused on profits and not enough on the well-being of its employees.
