Pros

Great entry into tech Hires great talent Coffee is good It's a job

Cons

Low salaries and low bonus opportunity Limited promotion to leadership- most were hired externally (don't believe the Glassdoor responses that they promote from within- not the case) Daily briefing - out of touch comments from C-suite. Cyber trucks, mansions and personal jets...

Hello. This year, we have promoted 173 Knowsters from within. Training and promoting internal employees has always been a primary focus for us. Our C-Suite only references their personal life during the Daily Briefing when promoted during Ask Me Anything sessions. This is part of our core value of radical transparency, so they will answer every question they are asked live. For example, in the briefing after the hurricane someone asked “Stu could you power part of your house with the Cybertruck?” So he answered it.

Pros

Great office snacks, free ev charging, cool coworkers

Cons

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
