Pros

- The industry is amazing. It's fun to work at a start up that's spearheading a new way to do Real Estate. - Amazing peers and colleagues! I have met some truly wonderful people working here.

Cons

- Communication is terrible. Every single department is on a different page and many people don't even know what we offer. - Pay rates are sub-par, made lower still by having to work around the clock and on weekends due to understaffing issues. People are asked to fill in for positions above their own for long periods of time and are not offered any additional compensation or bonuses. - Recognition for hard work is hard to come by. - Mgmt positions are filled from outside rather than within. - Poor decision making on new managers. We've had more than one manager come on and treat the existing team poorly. - Low culture in the company. What few events we do have come more from a source of someone saying "we need to have some sort of event, throw a happy hour on the calendar" rather than a genuine vibe that's set from the top and carries throughout. It's clearly not a priority.

Thanks for your review. We also love the people at Knotel and think it's one of the things that makes this such a great company! Typical of growing companies, we are constantly working to improve and communication, recognition, and culture are all top of mind for us as an organization. If you have further suggestions related to our culture, please don't hesitate to email the People Ops team.
