Pros

Very thorough Inside Sales Training.

Cons

Extreme micro-management style. You literally have to have a Zoom video on you all day, everyday, so Management can keep tabs that you are at your desk !

Hello, and thank you for your candid feedback. We are happy to hear you liked the training content for your role! While there are many perks of remote work, it can be challenging to join a new company virtually, which is why our onboarding experience is so in-depth and detailed. To help our Knowsters get in touch with their trainers as quickly as possible throughout onboarding, our Knewbies join an all-day virtual meeting room – with breaks! – just during their first few weeks. We hope you took advantage of all our training, development, and other benefits while working here and we wish you the best of luck on your future career journey.

Pros

The amazing views, the friendly, laid back people, the work-life balance, the bonuses, the excitement and room for growth! Great initial training program for all new employees too. You'll be an expert within 3 days on what we do as a company.

Cons

Fast growing companies like ours may have snags along the way, but I haven't seen much of anything happen that has hindered my progress or efficiency as an employee. It's been great! Benefits will improve with time, I'm sure.

Toxic pressure and high turnover

Pros

The product has some strong aspects, but it’s ultimately outdated, and customers are already planning to replace us at their next renewal.

Cons

The new CEO has been very difficult to work under. There’s a lack of structure and clear vision, and he hasn’t been able to inspire the team. Instead, the focus has shifted to constant pressure to perform, which often feels excessive. My manager is worried about job security, and that stress trickles down to the rest of us. I have been shouted at and more. HR won't do nothing. Turnover has been extremely high—people are leaving left and right. Someone I spoke with last week is already gone, and several more are expected to leave soon. Many of the new hires seem to have prior connections with the CEO or other managers, and it’s obvious who’s in the inner circle. Customer complaints are increasing, making it hard to stay motivated. Competitors are ahead, and we’re often asking customers to wait for features that take a long time to deliver—and don’t always work as expected. Instead of focusing on fixing issues, the company seems more focused on letting people go. This is a very toxic place.
