      Poor leadership, terrible morale

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are some great people here, especially in the tech org. Pay is OK especially if you are coming from FAANG. It was a good option prior to RTO.

      Cons

      There has been no meaningful product direction for years and no one has any faith in leadership to improve the situation. There are some phenomenal ICs, but most of them seem to be checked out and interviewing elsewhere at this point. WLB is OK if you’re popular politically but there’s a strong PIP culture so employees feel like there’s a target on their backs. Senior leadership is useless and at this point openly antagonistic toward the rank-and-file.

      Wonderful company ruined by immoral C Suite

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - interesting technical problems - very collaborative engineering culture - lots of opportunity to work on different things over time. Company is typically open to lateral movements across teams and occasionally functions. - genuinely some of the best coworkers I’ve had across my career — I have immense respect for the colleagues on my team and beyond who have taught me so much - I’ve learned more at Nextdoor than anywhere else I have worked

      Cons

      - C suite is incredibly out of touch with employees. CEO (Sarah Friar) and head of people are both incredibly tone deaf and rude to employees. I’ve had direct personal interactions with both that gobsmacked me with how unpleasant they were. - all hands is regularly a pure propaganda hour. No honest communication with employees. - strategic investments in growth above all feel shortsighted. Leadership has failed to adequately invest in making conversations on the platform less caustic (we all know that uncivil and sometimes racism conversations about crime are all over the platform). The teams that try work on this are pretty much ignored. - Recent RTO policy announcement was communicated incredibly poorly. Completely ignored most Q&A and offered no real concessions to working parents. CEO public ally called out an employee for being “rude” when they politely communicated disappointment in the policy. Pretended that the first half of the year was an “experiment” in RTO to collect data about if we should do it, then announced that the choice to do RTO “is not about the data” and is a “principled choice”. The only conclusion is that they looked at the data and it did not support their conclusion.

      Terrible place to work; avoid at all costs

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some of my teammates are good people

      Cons

      Sarah Friar is by far the worst CEO I’ve had in my entire career. For a company that is supposedly built on and one that preaches kindness, she is anything but kind. She has managed to bring company morale to an all time low, along with its stock price. She is rude, condescending, hypocritical and definitely doesn’t earn any respect from employees. She really needs to be fired before she runs the company to the ground. A strong blame culture within this company, which stems from the top. Just when you think the stock price can’t get any lower, it does.
