Pros

I have been working at Nextdoor for just a few months but so far, things have been great! Everyone is so inclusive, warm and helpful! It seems that everyone really embodies our purpose to creater a kinder world where everyone has a neightborhood (workplace) they can rely on. I've truly enjoyed my time so far and am excited for the future!

Cons

I haven't experienced any major downsides to working at Nextdoor yet, however it's slightly difficult to cultivate a strong rapport with my team because of onboarding virtually. I believe this will change once we are back in the office but right now I feel slightly removed from my team due to remote work.

Hi new Neighbor! Welcome to the team - we hope your experience continues to be positive. It's hard to adjust to a new team in a remote environment, but hopefully you're able to take part in some fun virtual activities soon! Looking forward to having you join us in the office!
