Pros

Pros: - Making a difference in the world with the day to day work that we do - Great work culture - fun, caring, collaborative, human - Work-life balance (emphasis on mental health) - Caring managers and coworkers - Competitive Salary and recognition for work - Thriving business

Cons

Fast-paced growing startup means fast changes, unorganized processes and lot of work to be done - which can lead to long hours and some weekend work but it's not like that all the time

More work for less reward

Pros

The mission is why most of us are here. The platform has potential to "do good." And the little perks are nice. The snacks. The little credits/gifts/company gifts. Most of the people are great.

Cons

The culture under the CMO/CRO is garbage. There is always unhealthy tension to get things done faster. They've crossed the line of the optimal work/life balance where the companies I've previously worked for have danced around it. Back then I felt pushed, but still happy and productive. Here, I was just tense...for years! Regular scenario: "What's an optimistic timeline for this project?" After giving a response... "Ok, please get it done sooner thanks." Tomorrow: "Hey can I get a status update? Any way we can pull that in?" You are encouraged to respond to late night pings which happen regularly. There are abrupt shifts in focus. There is an incredibly high turnover rate in this org of Nextdoor, so much so it's surprising there's any culture at all. Worst of all, performance and reviews mean nothing. I have been praised for regularly exceeding expectations, told I am making "company wide" impact, and thanked for putting in some serious crunch time. Thanks for that <4% raise. So that's why I'd give Nextdoor a 1/5. Don't lead me on for years with little to no reward. If you're in the bay area, there are a plethora of better options.
