The interview process was organized, easy, and quick. They always kept me updated and were professional and nice throughout. It consisted of two virtual interviews, some tests, and a reference check.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KnowBe4 (Clearwater, FL) in Feb 2017
Interview
I received a call from HR to set up an interview about 10 minutes after I submitted my resume, so obviously they saw something they liked. They invited me into to the office (which is about 5 hours away from where I live; I'm considering relocating to the Clearwater area) for an interview and "computer test." I assumed this test would be software-related, but instead it's a series of timed Scientology recruitment tests, including a personality and IQ test. (The "church" of Scientology home base is just a few blocks away from their office.) I seemed to get along really well with everyone I met, so I was surprised when, three days later, they emailed me with a rejection, but said I could try again in 90 days. (As though the position would even be available then.) I asked for clarification as to what parts of the test I failed, and they flat out refused. The company looks good on paper, but if they use a "religious" recruitment test as a means of hiring, then it was probably a bullet dodged. Based on everything I know about Scientology, I consider it a blessing that I failed their personality test. (I'm fairly certain I nailed the IQ test, so I can only assume it was the 200-question personality test I didn't pass.)
That being said, it did seem like it was too good to be true. Decent benefits, lots of chances to make a ton of money from monthly bonuses, and a really relaxed, open-concept atmosphere. But yeah, if you don't have a Scientology mentality, it probably isn't a good fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One question that I thought was weird during the interview was the department head literally just saying, "Tell me anything." Nothing to really go by. No direction. Other than that, it was a pretty standard interview.
This candidate was given the opportunity to do the tests first since he was 5 hours away but declined the opportunity to do so. The tests measure a candidate's ability to learn and follow instructions as well as give us an indication of how well they work with others. These are obviously important factors one should consider when hiring.
