Who are Wordnerds
Wordnerds is a customer feedback analysis tool that helps large organisations *genuinely* understand customers by analysing their millions of survey results, reviews, social posts, emails, webchats, CRM-entries and call centre transcripts. We’re an independent, venture-backed start-up working at the intersection of very new Artificial Intelligence (the same Natural Language Processing techniques that power ChatGPT) and oldskool corpus linguistics (the study of the structure of language) to produce an exciting, disruptive, different Software-as-a-Service platform.
Life at
Wordnerds
Culture overview
In our mission to make words actionable we take our work seriously, ourselves… less so. We champion the understanding of language and strive to train computers to understand humans expressing themselves in all our informal, colloquial and sarcastic glory. We look after each other. We try to have some fun. We're very proud to be part of the Northeast England tech scene. At the same time we’re outward-looking, ambitious and trying to make a dent on the world stage. Our values: • Learn, experiment, change—if there's one thing we can promise it's that what we're doing in a year will look very different • Own your impact—if what you're doing isn't helping the team progress, do something about it • Sevens kill startups—everyone has off days, but we strive for a minimum standard in everything we do • Make a connection—be open, interested, friendly, welcoming. Every interaction with a Wordnerd should stand out • Challenge because you care—we're moving fast and none of us are perfect. We all benefit from direct, kind feedback
