Toxic CRO

Pros

Great colleagues and mission of the org

Cons

Management is a joke. CRO would consistently lie to make herself look good

Nextdoor Response

Hello former Neighbor, It must have been a while since you were with us; we have not had a CRO at the company in many months, though have been actively recruiting!

Exciting startup with a good mission

Pros

Very, very challenging work on every team. The bar of expectations is set really high at all times. Not for slackers. I enjoy being challenged at Nextdoor and having the opportunity to work with a team of smart peers around me. I am one of the oldest team players but have been learning so much from my younger colleagues. I have been with the company for over 4 years and my passion with Nextdoor is still going strong every day (actually even stronger than 4 years ago).

Cons

Internal promotion can happen more often. We have a strong set of core values which sometimes do not get communicated as more frequently as it can be. Work-life balance can be improved, although the workload is really hard to get trimmed down in certain teams of one person.

Pros

Exciting environment with bright and energetic people. All staff at Headquarters are Incredibly intelligent. Company culture is very mission driven.

Cons

Constantly shifting goals and expectations. Sometimes it fells like grasping at straws instead of a clear goal and focus on how we can successfully get there.
