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

First and foremost, the reviews that I have read about NeighborCity are absurd. At NeighborCity, you have the privilege to work with great coworkers who all share the common goal of bringing more transparency to the real estate market nationwide. Having the opportunity to help potential home buyers and sellers, whether it be by providing advice, connecting them to an honest real estate agent, or simply offering to listen to their concerns, is something that I think a lot of (former) employees might take for granted. Being in a position to give a helping hand to a client in what most likely will be the largest purchase in their life is something that I truly get satisfaction out of. At NeighborCity you earn valuable experience working with a vast array of personalities from all walks of life, each and every day. The experience that I have gained while at NeighborCity is something that will most certainly apply in future endeavours.

Cons

No ping pong table. It would be nice to be able to get off work and have a game or two with my fellow colleagues.

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.
