Pros

The product itself and intention behind Nextdoor showed initial promise and a market need back in the early 2010's and up until summer 2019. Neighbours and how neighbours used / would need to use Nextdoor was at the forefront of every decision and design implementation of the app. Colleagues are also great, and make you feel as though you aren't alone in your burnout

Cons

Post summer 2019, when the company went public the stock price tanked and as a result every decision since then has been to increase revenue and the number of neighbours on the platform. There is no decision made to improve how real people can build meaningful connections as there is nothing done to remove toxic content from the newsfeed, stop fraudsters from joining, scammers, MLM individuals and so much more. It's simply become a breeding ground for people to spread hate. Since the November '23 layoffs, some employees have the responsibility and workload of 4+ people and compensation has not been adjusted accordingly. Everyone is waiting for compensation cycles upcoming at the end of March and not a single person is expecting to be valued correctly and I feel there will be further losses in staff, more burnout to come and an even worse morale amongst those that will remain

Pros

Steady, healthy and thoughtful growth, unlike many hyper scaling startups out there. Flat structure, no hierarchy, ideas get approved and Qs get answered within a few hours max, in my experience so far! Kind people who actually do care about communities and People, and not just about numbers, KPIs and all that stuff.

Cons

No Cons so far, if I had to say something it would be that given the HQ is in SF, the smaller regional locations are just starting to get the sort of Love the HQ has been getting. But the work here is phenomenal (eg. now really solid benefits), and management is really supportive about making things happen internationally, so keen to see what else we can do here as we go forward.
