Nextdoor Employee Reviews

Welcoming, exciting work that I can contribute to

Review from Design Dept

My experience on balance has been very positive. I was brought in to initiate change, and this has been well-received. The company has a huge issue of operating with much too bureaucratic structure that is out of step with our actual scale.

Review from Sales Dept

It has been very nice and impactful. I have been blessed to work on interesting projects for my team and company as a whole

Review from Engineering Dept

Started as a contractor. Made moves to progress and was repeatedly turned over for roles so the same person could get the advancements despite never being here. Applied for a new role at ND and was professionally sabotaged by the same person. Now I just do my work and don't speak with anyone else

Review from Customer Success Dept

Great vibes but sometimes can be like a club of the popular kids shouting the loudest. I find the set up to be confusing, and quite disjointed. Meetings are overly complex, can be incredibly boring & rarely is context given.

Review from Sales Dept

Very down to earth, willing to talk to anyone in the company, welcoming to new people like me

Review from Design Dept

Have a great vision and have made the strategy super clear to achieve that.

Review from Product Dept

they are nice people, they get along well and I believe they care

Review from Sales Dept

The transparency to all employees is key, also appreciate that they listen to anyone with an opinion. I appreciate their support for every employee to go big, experiment and learn quickly.

Review from Operations Dept

They seem to learn and make progress a lot

Review from Engineering Dept

We don't care enough about product quality and the user experience

Review from HR Dept

Stop piping people who appears to be not productive on paper. They are doing crucial work being team players, and with them gone projects will take longer and we no longer know how to handle outages

Review from Engineering Dept

For those of us who have been here > 4 years its discouraging to see how slow our pace is to build a better product for our neighbors and advertisers

Review from Sales Dept

Compensating older employees to compete with newer employees.

Review from Engineering Dept

Making strategic decisions and holding themselves accountable.

Review from Sales Dept

the comp package is average, and under-estimates the dreadful state of the ads tools and ad stack.

Review from Sales Dept

Base salary is very good

Review from Engineering Dept

Health care & dental plan

Review from Sales Dept

I like that it gets reviewed and assessed yearly for optimizations

Review from Sales Dept

I am pleased with my equity package

Review from HR Dept

Comp is low (cash & eq), under leveled (system is opaque), intentionally ambiguous titling framework

INTL teams are spread thin in some areas and when someone leaves we do not get replacements or maternity cover thus having to take on those people's workloads more and more without compensation and without consideration to what that would do to workload and mental workload (aka. burnout)

Review from Customer Success Dept

It's just the equity compensation I feel a little cheated by. I joined pre-IPO and unfortunately the company's stock has fallen a lot since the IPO. My equity value was kinda pegged to that IPO price, and now I'm earning a fraction of that while I'm sure new hires are getting much more equity.

Review from Engineering Dept

I would just like to make more money.

Review from Sales Dept

I pay is behind that of the other social brands we are competing against. Basic salary could be increased to bring us in line with competitors. More benefits like: contribution to travel, better gym benefits, salary sacrifice scheme for electric vehicles

Review from Sales Dept

Design and news teams are so talented

Review from Design Dept

Collaboration and overall abilities of my team

Review from Marketing Dept

smart, thoughtful people. with a throughput that Nextdoor's mission is to make a positive impact on the world

Review from Sales Dept

Everyone acts like an owner. They take care of their own responsibilities and leans in when someone needs help.

Review from Operations Dept

They are nice and wise

Review from Engineering Dept

My coworkers are very focused on their personal visibility; my colleagues don't often help with my initiatives as they are considered low visibility.

Review from Communications Dept

'Kind conversations' internally at the company at not a reality. There is a lot of going over other's heads and talking behind peoples backs which is in no way constructive and hurts the performance of the company.

Review from Communications Dept

Some coworker relationships are difficult. I would love to see more kindness from certain team members. I also feel my team is a bit cliquey.

Review from HR Dept

communication and respect. The culture here is very US sided, we should be working as a global team with the US communicating out to us and listening to our feedback/ideas

Review from Product Dept

no one really seems to care or is connected to the company/product. energy is super low in group meetings or any time theres an accomplishment. we all are just a cog in the wheel and feedback isn't really listened to. prod will do whatever they want to do and make decisions that dont make any sense

Review from Operations Dept

Everyone is super welcoming and gives people the space to deliver on their tasks

Review from Design Dept

that the company is trying to make a positive impact on the world.

Review from Sales Dept

There is the urge to learn here

Review from Engineering Dept

Amazing people, very passionate and really friendly and invested

Review from Sales Dept

Everyone is very supportive and kind.

Review from Engineering Dept

My US colleagues seem to micro mange, they also tend to schedule afternoon meetings which is an evening for me which affects my W/L Balance. there is no consideration for the difference in timezones at ND

Review from Product Dept

Less reporting meetings. More meetings in which we really support and discuss.

Review from Operations Dept

Actually being a kind person instead of talking about kindness so much

Review from Marketing Dept

Some management teams to have higher emotional intelligence and empathy.

Review from Product Dept

I think we should really put people first

Review from Operations Dept

solving hard problems with smart, dedicated people

Review from Sales Dept

Having a good support system

Review from Engineering Dept

The people are fantastic. There is a lot to learn and its exciting working in a social media space that has potential to keep growing and expanding

Review from Sales Dept

workly closely with my colleagues

Review from Sales Dept

The DEIB work that I do.

Review from HR Dept

For me personally, see the question about compensation. Also, I've been working on a lot of the same types of experiments for 2 years now, so getting a little bored. For the company as a whole, we have to get our costs under control, so we can reach profitability soon!

Review from Engineering Dept

Higher pay, less gaslighting, better benefits, more development opportunities

Review from Finance Dept

While I am focused on solutions and approaching my work in efficient ways, there are a lack of resources that make storytelling difficult.

Review from Communications Dept

support and resources are not divided up fairly. Treatment of high performers is very low

Review from Sales Dept

While ICs are great, the workplace overall is toxic. This comes from the top down. Micromanagement and gaslighting abound.
