Pros

I am very happy with my overall experience at NeighborCity. I enjoy the team-based environment and the job is gratifying. I like the people I work with and I am learning on a daily basis. NeighborCity is a smaller startup and as a result, there are high expectations and you are held responsible for your own work. This is actually very appealing to me, and one of the main reasons I decided to leave my old corporate job. I am an active contributor to the company, I see the value in and results of my own work, and my opinion matters. I feel well supported by the management. There is frequent training and we are provided with the necessary guidance and support to succeed. To the reviewer who said that there is no work/life balance: I strongly disagree. While we all work hard during the day, you go home at a reasonable hour and are not required to do work outside of the office.

Cons

It could be perceived as a higher stress/demanding job - don't join if you are interested in taking a backseat approach and not performing daily.

Pros

We provide a valuable service to home buyers and sellers that help them get better deals. I completely disagree with the negative reviews stating there is no work/life balance--I have a toddler, and not once has my job here ever interfered with me picking him up on time. I like the atmosphere where everyone works hard and you aren't micro-managed.

Cons

I wish more people knew about us--we are NOT a scam as some other people have said--we provide a genuine service to home buyers and sellers that gives them unbiased reviews of real estate agent. Nothing in our business model is unethical-it is very upsetting to me that people say that when it simply isn't true.

Pros

My internship at NeighborCity was a fulfilling learning experience. During my time there, I worked closely with the founders and leaders of the company, which provided me with the opportunity to see how small, burgeoning startups are successfully run. This opportunity also afforded me a great amount of personal responsibility in which I would report directly to top-management on my projects and progress. The feedback I received on daily tasks was constructive, encouraging, and often enthusiastic which fostered a positive work environment where I was motivated to work hard for the benefit of the team. In a business focused on customer satisfaction, my teammates were always positive, friendly, and approachable. There was a high-level of communication within the office which created an easy-going, yet focused and efficient work environment. For those interested in observing a hardworking startup from the inside and working with incredibly welcoming and helpful co-workers, NeighborCity is the place for you.

Cons

There is a heavy workload and they were in the process of hiring, so work at times was a bit hectic. Also, protocols are developing everyday, which can be confusing at times, but this is actually an opportunity to take initiative and aid in making the company more efficient.
