What does the leadership team need to get better at?
We don't care enough about product quality and the user experience

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.

Making strategic decisions and holding themselves accountable.
Review from Sales Dept
Listening to the subject matter experts and not overriding everyone below them just on the basis that they're a Lead
Review from Communications Dept
Appreciating its employees and representing our company's values internally. Nextdoor is a divided company with two different goals and ideologies (Community vs Revenue). Nextdoor needs to be unified and it can't happen until leadership acknowledges this large elephant in the room and adjusts.
Review from Sales Dept
Genuinely caring about employees and not just mindlessly virtue signalling.
Review from Engineering Dept
1. I don't currently have a manager. My perf reviews are being read by no one and I'm not supported on my day to day. 2. Better examples of upward movement in UX. No examples of ICs being promoted up to lead/manager level. 3. Better process for efficient/clear workflow between teams/cross functiona
Review from Design Dept
Leadership team needs to show they care about driving revenue and creating opportunities for advertisers to increase their budget commitments. Time and time again its the same story of the revenue teams having 0 to no resources to grow our partnerships due to lack of priority with our team and work.
Review from Sales Dept
Invest in the values we stand for. Not only external but moreover internally. What values am I missing mostly on a daily basis: earn trust everyday, invest in community. Next to that I experience a lack of transparency and I feel there needs to be better internal career guidance and opps.

feedback + enabling bottoms up ideas

Building a culture of feedback, transparency, and clear setting of expectations for managers.

Clear messaging around priorities, shorter and more direct communications with team
Review from Product Dept

Hiring managers that care about their employees and don't see them as worthless automaton.
