How are career development opportunities at Nextdoor?

An amazing and innovative place to work, with a great work culture. There are tons of opportunities to grow, good pay, and potential for a bright future.

Fast-paced environment, which may not suit everyone, but I like it.

allows some remote work from home

a lot of leadership changes. No stock growth. difficult ad product to work with.

Supportive team environment with helpful coworkers and good opportunities for professional growth.

Workload can become heavy during busy periods and deadlines may occasionally feel stressful.

Great pay when you move up Lots of growth opportunity People are light hearted and fun Don't feel overworked

Some people can be pretty sensitive Even though there's lots of growth opportunity promotions can be based on the wrong metrics

Glassdoor is a genuinely mission-driven company, and it feels good recruiting for a product that helps people make better career decisions. The brand is strong, so candidates are usually excited to engage. The recruiting team was supportive and collaborative, with smart people who actually want to help each other succeed. You get exposure to a wide range of roles and strong partnerships with hiring managers. Tools, data, and processes are solid, and work-life balance is better than most tech companies. Benefits and DEI focus are also strong.

Things can feel slow and process-heavy, with lots of approvals and shifting priorities. Recruiting is very metrics-driven, which can sometimes feel more like activity tracking than true talent strategy. Career growth for recruiters is somewhat limited.

good people, some engineers are exceptional, solid mission

Declining product, stock in the gutter, and limited growth opportunities

* Some decent free snacks

* Toxic workplace culture * Lack of critical thinking * Progression blocked by classist culture

- decent folks at the IC level - culture is so toxic, you can really trauma-bond with your colleagues!

- the culture is laughably bad - was common to laugh with colleagues during and after town halls at how horrible the culture has become. - mid-level managers range from incompetent to downright toxic (esp in DS). And in most instances, one would come from a meeting questioning if a mid-level manager had any relevant experience. - truly, the most horrible experience of my career. If i could give more detail I would, but I've never seen anything as poorly run as this company. Run far away, fast.

flexible hours remote friendly environment

low pay and no progression
