Pros

Open and collaborative environment with friendly and smart people. This company has a strong vision, backed up by an even stronger team. I love NextDoor's culture and their constant drive to succeed.

Cons

Nothing glaring really. Perhaps I would hope for more structure in engineering, but then again the company is still pretty small.

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong team with a lot of people very dedicated to the mission of helping build stronger communities. It's not every company that actually gets to help make the world a better place, but Nextdoor does. There are lots of opportunities for personal and career growth as the company grows. Perks are fine but not as outrageous as some SF tech companies. Culture is very friendly. Recently moved to a much nicer new office.

Cons

It's a growing company and going through some growing pains - processes have not kept up with growth and it is hard to maintain culture while increasing headcount fast. It's still a startup and there is a lot of pressure to move fast.
