Nextdoor reviews

Maybe this is team specific, but management plays favorites and communication doesn't feel open. A growing company has certain burdens, and there's a lot of change happening right now, but they need to realize the talent they have within the company instead of sticking their employees in a hole they can't get out of. Or be upfront about the difficulty/lack of ability to move up/chance of increased responsibility. Basically feels like a dead end job.

* As the company grows, there are more and more cases when talking overtakes doing. It's different team by team, but for some team, the culture is going down. People who do the most talking get the most visibility, instead of people who actually do the work. * No clear career path for more responsibility. It's rare or impossible to find someone younger than 30 taking on a leadership position. Unless in a small org. * Engineering leadership is not strong enough to take the product to the next level, at least for some teams. Nextdoor has good engineers, but not enough architects who have the capability to take some team to the next level. However, there are definitely teams within Nextdoor that are excellent technically. * Location is less than ideal. Let's just put it this way. Civic Center station has probably one of the highest concentration of homeless, and it literally has a poop crisis. You have to look down on the street all the time to avoid stepping on something. But you can never avoid the smell. Getting to work feels like a survival game sometimes. And Nextdoor is staying here for the foreseeable future.
