I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nextdoor (San Francisco, CA) in May 2018
Interview
One of the best interview experiences of any company. There were three basic steps starting with a recruiter call, then 2 coding hangout sessions that can be done back to back or on different days, then onsite. Onsite consisted of 3 algorithm sessions, lunch with both hangout interviewers, 1 design question, and a discussion with the hiring manager. Interviewers are very good at nudging towards the most efficient solution. Although I didn't receive an offer, I would definitely interview with them again in the future.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Build a React Component. More requirements are added as you proceed.
phone call into coding screen
coding screen -> full loop but decided to stop after passing the coding screen
next is the typical 4-5 hr interview day with coding, system design, behavioral, etc
standard 3 rounds of LC style coding, 1 system design, 1 behavior round. Passed all rounds but no matching team, no offer. Don't think they have a candidate pool that will keep you for a while. So make sure you have the team aligned before doing the interview; otherwise do not waste your time.

Question 1
LC style question, medium to hard with a couple of follow-ups.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Nextdoor
Interview
I began by speaking with the recruiter to understand the role and expectations. After that, I completed two technical coding screens. I then participated in a five-person panel interview, which included the hiring manager and involved additional coding exercises as well as a deeper discussion of system and architectural design.

Question 1
The coding questions are straightforward and don’t include any tricks. Nextdoor keeps the problems closely aligned with their actual products, making them feel like realistic tasks you might handle as an employee.
