Pros

Benefits, flexibility, remote work, unlimited PTO

Cons

They don't know what they're doing. With their recent company pivot, it's absolute chaos. A year ago, my rating would have been 4 stars but now they just change titles and job responsibilities with no notice or training, and provide zero upward mobility unless you start out as a manager (then you can expect multiple promotions and title bumps each year). The culture would be great if they actually practiced the values they preach but any constructive feedback given is always construed as being negative and it's a very vindictive culture. No work/life balance for much of the company and they wait until their employees are on the brink of quitting (or actually quit) to make changes to fix things. They're expanding so rapidly without taking a look at how it actually affects the people who work for them. The CEO is so full of himself he insists on being in every photo that accompanies a headline about the company.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Knock is indeed in hyper-growth right now and it is true that a dynamic, fast-paced environment is not for everyone. You must be driven, resourceful and have a strong inner drive to roll up your sleeves, work hard and play harder. If you are looking for a predictable 9 to 5 job, this isn’t it! Out of 28 Managers, 17 were promoted from an individual contributor role, so opportunity for advancement at Knock exists at all levels and all departments and is available to everyone equally. Our POPSICLE values are our Northstar, being a 2020 Inc Best Work-Places recipient and a 2020 & 2021 Forbes Best Startup Employer recipient, we are constantly iterating on how we can continue to achieve these honors. We currently have 42 open positions and welcome diversity and entrepreneurship at all levels.

Pros

Amazing people on the team who provide a great solution to a common real estate problem: helping clients buy-then-sell.

Cons

The fast-paced environment is fun! But it's not for people looking for a slow stroll.

Pros

Knock really has all the pros you look for in a company: great culture, amazing benefits, team culture, work-from-home, flexibility, base pay with strong bonus structure, fun company events. The role-specific pros would be that there is a great support system in place where you have guidance and fast access to others on the team for questions without feeling micromanaged. Knock has a really great program that is easy to learn and articulate to our partners and, with so many benefits, it is an easy sell.

Cons

These could be pros or cons depending on what you are looking for but it is a fast-paced environment that is constantly changing. Sometimes changes are rolled out prematurely. But almost all of the changes are very positive and our partners love the updates and in turn we succeed more as AEs.
