Pros

- Every single person on my team I love working with and are always helpful. - Our new CEO inspires and reminds us to do our best work everyday - The product has a mission which makes it easy for you to believe in your work - Because its still relatively small there is so many areas one can make an impact and improve

Cons

- I would say is that it lacks laser focus on product direction & investment - Things are broken a lot because there is just so much to work on and not enough PMs.

Pros

Inspiring CEO who seems to care about what is best for the customers and creating a quality product that serves them is trying to instill proactive change across leadership team and create best framework for decision making and communications across company

Cons

My observations so far = seems like we are still ways away from creating a safe and productive environment for employees to be able to reach their potential HR seems to be in a constant state of disarray. Maybe because company is growing so fast but there seem to be noticeable cases of people leaving within a short period after their start. But nobody talks about what we’re doing to solve for this. Teams across the board seem understaffed, reactive, and lack clear leadership from a senior-middle management perspective CEO is making an effort for better transparency at the top but the way communications gets cascaded through the next ranks has been weird. It feels like there are still a lot of “he said she said” and “closed door communications”. The work environment feels inefficient and has eroded trust in managers. Misalignment and tension amongst senior leadership causes disruption to work for the rest of the team. Work gets delegated that is not necessarily in the best interest of the customer but out of pressure to pump out sales ...fast. Lack of transparency on hiring on a team level. It’s like hunger games. One day you have headcount and then you don’t. It’s all so mysterious. And puts you on edge. Makes you feel like a number and a nameless employee. Lack of diversity compared to other companies No clear career development plans or investment

Pros

*the people here are amazing - this is hands down the most welcoming group of folks I've worked with *lots of opportunities to create community with employee resource groups *$60/month gym reimbursement and one-time benefits like the $300 headphone reimbursement and $500 cell-phone reimbursement *management is fairly transparent - shares their board decks slide-for-slide with the whole company *equity is very valuable - Nextdoor is a unicorn and will soon be profitable

Cons

*LOTS of turnover in every department, especially at the executive level *PTO is accrued at only 3 weeks/year, which is pretty bad... some departments don't document it at all as a work-around, but others have to... WFH not encouraged *no commuter stipend *we don't have holidays like Veteran's Day, President's Day, etc. off, so if you're a parent, you have to take PTO to stay home with your kids *absolutely no focus on diversity at the company
