Pros

Being mission driven is awesome. The culture and people is really what separated Nextdoor from other players in the tech space. Unfortunately, the culture and 200+ people were laid off due to elementary leadership.

Cons

Nextdoor has slowly been decaying from the inside out for years due to poor decision-making, incomplete to minimal product rollouts, mediocre and elitist leadership who don't know what business they are in. The company is run like a non-profit whose sole purpose is to build a kinder world. It's a great mission and one most people truly believe in, but you can't accomplish the mission if you don't focus on revenue. Good leadership has the ability to chew gum and walk at the same time, but unfortunately, the consistent failure from Sarah Friar n co. has resulted in product and morale decay and massive layoffs.

Pros

-Passionate talented coworkers that truly embody the mission and value here -Company allowed the formation of many ERGs & even covered our lunches at lunch meetings and let us present sometimes at All Hands -Great snacks in the kitchen (pre-pandemic), offer tiny WFH stipend and L&D stipends

Cons

-Company does not seem to walk its talk re DEI, no data-driven goals; treated as mostly PR rather than competitive business investment. When first hired there were <1% total black or indigenous employees; right before pandemic layoffs, there were about 5%. -Culture of low or no EQ especially in middle management, HR and Ops; occasional misappropriation and lack of recognition for ground-breaking work, and maladaptive behavior is more common than one would expect. -Seems like high performers who complain about management skills may start to get bad performance reviews.
