Pros
The only thing that kept me here was my colleagues Client Partner, Account Managers, and Ad Ops across the mid-market team. Everything else, including leadership was horrible.
Cons
You really don't know whats going to happen tomorrow working at Nextdoor. -One month after starting there was a 25% mass layoff across the whole company. - New CEO changes months later -Was assigned a new leader halfway through my time NB. By far the worst people leader and worst manager I have ever had in my entire life. I felt like I was being watched at every moment of the day, and since there was seniority here, all of this behavior was brushed under the rug and dismissed. Even when brought up to senior leadership and HR. There was one point of my job scope where she asked to be CC'ed on 100% of my client outreach, after reaching of quota 125% in Q1 2024. Literally no people management skills whatsoever. There was obviously an over control issue with remote managing, and many other team members that felt this way. Myself and other members were scared to ask questions and she would give snarky responses saying that we should know this information already. ND should hire people leaders that have strong leader characteristics instead of junior level managers that do not know how to manage a team and be collaborative and supportive. Literally a joke! -Senior leadership leaving without any jobs lined up. Many sales leads left the company with new opportunities, or no opportunities at all. Total red flag. -We were required to go into the office three times a week starting May 2024, when working there for 8 months it didn't seem like working remote or in your designated office location was an issue. There were remote employees located in different parts of California, Texas, etc. My manager would contact other team members in the office to make sure her team members were there, as she was located in Chicago and couldn't micromanage that. Super toxic. -Sales leaders for Mid Market all gossip together and felt like I was back in high school. The head of sales slacks us directly about accounts nonstop- why is this happening? There obviously is no communication between upper management. Learn how to effectively run a sales team and communicate between upper management positions about accounts. - I was laid off my role one month ago with no reasoning or any information how the decision was made. I asked for data driven reasoning and I wasn't supplied any information, and my whole team (besides my manager) was happy with me. Literally had so much anxiety working here. Please stay away from this place and especially mid market sales. Such a relief to be gone!
