RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Nextdoor full-time
Pros
Mission driven company, with strong focus, process, and the opportunity to work with an exceptional CEO who is passionate, thoughtful, intelligent, and accessible. A place where I feel blessed to work for an organization where revenue generated goes into fueling a product that is creating kinder communities across the globe
Cons
Nothing that doesn't come with a fast paced startup. There is a lot to do and if you are looking for a roll your sleeves up environment with lots of opportunity to act like an owner and make an impact, this is it.

Pros
Nextdoor is one of the most diverse companies I have ever worked for, and our leadership has done an amazing job building such an inclusive and supportive culture. I admire our CEO and her leadership, and am happy I got a chance to work under our former CPO, Tatyana Mamut, who put user research and design at the center of product development. It is a privilege to work with so many talented and intelligent people and grow together with them.
Cons
We need more experienced people to scale our product and be where we want to be. The company is not showing flexibility in terms of work arrangements after the pandemic. Many people had to make significant changes in their lives to be able to cope, and the expectation is to be at the office again. That adds more anxiety into the uncertainty we have to deal with.

Pros
Collaborative Environment, Solid team mates, Easy going culture
Cons
Too cautious in their decisions. Company needs to stop being reactionary and start making hard stances on social issues. Can’t appease both sides of the table
