Pros

-the people at Nextdoor are some of the best people I've ever worked with in my career and I really love my team. Our mission and purpose seem to deeply resonate with everyone...people care about the work they are doing here and want to make an impact -personally, I've experienced career development and growth -great office facilities (but, our San Francisco office is in a terrible neighborhood...I even feel unsafe driving to/from the office) -free lunch 1x per week, monthly happy hours -pretty good benefits -great ERGs

Cons

-lack of sophistication when it comes to certain systems/tools/processes -people in leadership or management positions can sometimes take advantage and act as though the rules don't apply to them/they don't follow company processes when the rest of us are expected to -can feel pretty isolating/siloed when teams are hybrid, half remote and half in-office. existing technologies don't allow for productive/engaging hybrid meetings -upcoming 3 days per week return to office policy starting in January for all employees, regardless of team/role (even if your team is fully distributed) -pay could be better -I don't have a lot of trust in management/leadership
