First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at KnowledgeCity.
Content Marketing Manager
The interview process was pretty straightforward. It was a 30-minute video call where standard questions were asked. The CEO was surprisingly on the panel, which made me think about the negative Glassdoor reviews mentioning micromanagement and lack of trust. A few days later, they offered me the job. The offer had the same job description but a 'supervisor' title and a $20K pay cut from the advertised role. When I questioned this, they offered the manager title but with 'more responsibilities' (still the same job description) and no additional pay. It took a while to get an official offer letter. Upon receiving the contract from HR, I inquired about working from home due to the early start (7 AM-4 PM) and asked about health benefits, noting the 60-day waiting period. Instead of simply answering, they revoked the offer. The whole experience felt shady, and my initial gut feeling was unsettling. I feel relieved I dodged a bullet, especially after reading current employee reviews.
- Could you tell me about the types of marketing content you have previously created or managed?
Software Engineer
My interview with KnowledgeCity for the Software Engineer position was great. It started with a recruiter call that gave me all the info I needed. Then I did a take-home project which was pretty cool and hands-on. The virtual onsite interviews were really engaging too. Everything was set up well, they were upfront about everything, and they were super respectful of my time. The people interviewing me were nice and knew their stuff, and it felt like they care about teamwork as much as coding skills.
- Could you explain your approach to the take-home coding challenge, including the architectural and design choices you made?
- Describe the thought process behind the architecture and design decisions in your take-home coding challenge.
Instructor
I had a 30-minute phone interview, and then they asked me to create a work sample. I made one and sent it, but they told me to create another. When I asked for clarification, they wanted a completely new writing sample, and I wasn't compensated for either. They also didn't give me any indication they were interested. It took them a month to reject me, and I had to follow up after doing two unpaid work samples. These people are as inconsiderate as the others running Knowledge City.
- Write a 300-500 word lesson plan as if you were lecturing to a class, focusing on a key concept from a given course idea. Include background on the course, examples or definitions, and learning objectives for students.
Video Editor
I had one quick interview that was pretty easy and straightforward. The interviewer wasn't very engaged and spoke in a monotone. He gave me a test sample video to edit for the next portion of the process. I spent the weekend editing the video and gave it back to him, but then never heard back. I reached out again to check in. It felt disrespectful.
- Can you tell me about the types of projects you've worked on?
- What's your experience with specific editing software?
- How do you manage working on multiple projects at once?
