      Pros

      Great, hardworking teams. People genuinely seem to like the majority of their coworkers Individual basic insurance is 100% covered and buy up plans are affordable If you have a good manager you are likely very happy with your job as a whole. Events thrown are typically decently fun WFH/hybrid is still common place If your team needs something (software, tool, new computers) to operate efficiently, they tend to buy it Lots of ERP groups to be involved in if you would like The claimed values and culture is great when shown, seems to have gone away post acquisition

      Cons

      Under market salaries Announced no COLAs, the bonus "game" keeps being restructured (which will happen again I'm sure), which was their excuse for underpaying base salaries, so now people are making less than in previous years, without factoring inflation. The daily Morning meeting has truly become a waste of time, especially if you are not in sales. CEO seems very out of touch with what his employees are going through financially, which was amplified when he discussed how he wasn't sure if he was going to switch out his mansion for a 19 bedroom mansion offered to him, because "what will 2 people do with 19 bedrooms and 3 pools!?" Using the morning meeting to tell people "big changes are coming in January but we won't tell you about them because we don't want you to worry" is concerning and makes people worry Favoritism is rampant Family health insurance is very expensive Individual growth has become especially limited with the new corporate climate post acquisition

      Hello Knowster, we understand your concerns about the absence of cost-of-living adjustments in January. Despite economic challenges, we're working to maintain benefits and continue the monthly bonus plan as is in 2024. Our health insurance, with various tiers, remains competitive, and we've kept premiums stable. We reduced family premiums by over 30% in 2023, and our plans have only seen a minor change to add an HSA tier based on employee suggestions. We're committed to maximizing coverage at the best price in 2024. The daily company briefing is our way of making sure each Knowster is kept in the loop, straight from the top. Your well-being and job security are top priorities, and we appreciate your understanding in these unprecedented times.

      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.
