Pros

you'll meet amazing people. you'll get to work on some real life issues millions of users experience. hopefully you can buy in to the ND value to be kind and grow local community.

Cons

(1) CEO's delivery of Return to Office, the policy I agree with, was so awful, I never want to work in the same company with Sarah. Dismissive, disrespectful, and more importantly it highlights how she has been and will be acting as a board member INSTEAD of acting like a CEO, or at least an inspirational person. (2) The senior (prod Dev) leadership cannot articulate the direction of the product. Pretty common for a bigger company, but ND is only 350 people in prod Dev. Cherry on top: years ago, when mentioned that I work at ND I got " what is Nextdoor"... Awkward. Nowadays, I get "just uninstalled that app"... Embarrassing. I'll be out very soon.
