Pros

Working with really ambitious, smart, kind, humble people for the majority of my employment Fully remote

Cons

The founder created a culture of "nothing is good enough." It didn't matter if an employee gave 110%, or put in 50% effort. All efforts were met with the same response. Despite being an organization that was building a tool for Chief People Officers and having access to best practices, the founder completely disregarded following these. The founder is very self aggrandizing There's much more, but I don't think the organization is functioning at this point so I will leave it at these points.

Pros

-Feedback centric: I always know what I need to work on, what I'm doing well, and what tasks I need to accomplish -Fast paced but deliberate: If you enjoy working in a start-up with constant iteration, but with proactive, well-thought out actions, this is the workplace for you! -Quality>quantity with hiring -Extremely transparent from the top down. The founder/CEO gives weekly updates about the business, and it trickles into every aspect of the organization -Fully remote!

Cons

-See above; if you like a slower, monotonous workplace, this might not be it for you -If you don't handle real-time constructive feedback well, you may not enjoy working at Knoetic

Pros

I've never worked with a more talent-dense, carefully curated group of people! Every member of the team not only goes above and beyond in their own role, but also contributes cross-functionally where needed and elevates the organization as a whole. Every voice is heard and appreciated. Leadership is caring & empathic but also quick to give useful feedback that pushes you to be your best. Joseph is an incredible leader, driving strategy and divvying out thoughtful constructive criticism one moment, then sharing useful reading resources and dropping a funny GIF into Slack the next moment. The very foundation of the Knoetic culture comes straight from his list of values, and we all strive to live up to those values every day. The company is growing quickly, so there is room for growth in all of the roles according to your strengths. We have an exciting product that is changing how CPOs build their organizations and driving important initiatives (like diversity, inclusion, and pay equity) at some of the country's fastest growing companies. And it's enriched by CPOHQ, a dynamic community & mastermind of some of the most influential CPOs driving change internationally across thousands of HR and People teams. I knew from the first time I read the job description that Knoetic was different, and every day has lived up to the hype!

Cons

Not the place for you if you want a slow-paced role in a usual office setting. Knoetic is a fast-paced, fully remote team where you are expected to pull your weight. I wish that I got to spend more face-to-face time with coworkers, but it's difficult with the team spread across the country (and world!).
