The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nextdoor (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
Initial phone screen with recruiter, asking about the interests of next door, also asked about my minimum living expense which I don't feel very comfortable. Followed by two rounds phone interview, each with half tech questions and half coding. I finished all 3 coding questions (LC medium difficulty) in codepad with test cases passed. Recruiter said he would give me feedback after going through hiring committee. Then got rejected after 3 days without any reason.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
some basic technical questions, one hash counting, two DFS.
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.
