Bad leadership. I used to love this place. I don’t recognize it anymore. - Software Engineer Nextdoor Employee Review

• Deterioration of leadership leading to a fear-based culture. • Retaliation against dissenting voices under the guise of “disagree and commit.” • High attrition rates, especially among veteran engineers. • Unkept promises regarding layoffs, followed by an aggressive PIP culture. • Constant shifts in product direction and frequent team reorganizations. • Perceived absence of hands-on leadership from the CEO. • Return-to-office decisions that disregarded employee safety and well-being. • Office location in an area where many employees feel unsafe. • Insensitive and out-of-touch responses to employee concerns.
