Nextdoor Software Engineer interview experience

Right before the call, I was told the interviewer was unavailable, so nothing really happened on that scheduled track.

The next day, the head of recruiting called and essentially focused on my background rather than doing a deeper screen. They said they’d follow up with technical interviews, and I did hear from them about a week later—but only to say their needs had changed and they weren’t moving forward.

That was the part that stuck with me: the process felt like it was drifting even after I’d been told to expect technical rounds, and then it ended without much clarity.
