The Knot Worldwide Technology and Product Department Employee Reviews

Great environment, people and management. Great systems, tech stacks and challenging problems to solve. Great facilities at BCN office, even better benefits and opportunities to grow and learn from others.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

This is the best company I've ever worked for. The work is interesting and challenging; the industry we are in is exciting and impactful. The day-to-day culture is very positive and everyone I've worked with is very professional, no drama, highly competent, and motivated.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

I really like working at The Knot. We have a great work life balance which has allowed me time to pursue a graduate degree. The people are smart and fun to work with. I wish they would increase the 401k match as it is far below industry standards

Review from Technology and Product Dept

I absolutely love my job and this company. The atmosphere is fun, collaborative, and driven. We all get the job done and have some fun along the way.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

I love it here. It feels great to see that we have collectively created a great company culture at TKWW. I have worked here for almost two decades and I feel like I learn something valuable all the time.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

It's early still to say something but the goals are clear, the tech stack as well as there is plenty of doc for process and in terms of organization and onboarding it's easy and clear to understand. Will see how it unfolds in the future but happy so far with the team and manager :)

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Our regular/recurring "all hands" meetings are consistently scheduled and very transparent. We are kept informed of larger initiatives and the state of the company. Employees are treated like "real people" throughout all levels of leadership.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

They are transparent and open to questions

Review from Technology and Product Dept

clear direction, appreciates customers and employees

Review from Technology and Product Dept

I feel they empower the teams to make decision to accomplish the goals we have set as a company

Review from Technology and Product Dept

We as a company really need to make more mature decisions based on on the experience of various SMEs, instead of coming up with ideas in silos and unleashing them on implementation teams half formed and not thought out.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Prioritizing quality work instead of metrics.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Leadership and defining a strategy for how they are going to mature this company and grow it. This leadership team is clearly of a startup mentality and lack the maturity or experience to take a company at this phase and size to the next level. Big change and an influx of experience is needed

Review from Technology and Product Dept

They need to act on feedback and move quickly on personnel issues when there are problems that drive down morale or are increasing departures due to bad managers. There's a lack of cooperation across different teams and an increasing adversarial nature to interactions that seems to be more frequent.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Having a vision for the future pushing change to implement the base level systems and processes needed for a company to grow

Review from Technology and Product Dept

the base salary with no variables, but having side benefits that compliment health and flexibility wise.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

My compensation package is spot-on for my role. The benefits the company gives are far beyond what I've encountered at other companies. The benefits are flexible to appeal to a wide range of people, but at their heart are geared towards truly taking care of the employees.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Not everyone receives an annual bonus but for the ones that do, the bonus is nice

Review from Technology and Product Dept

salary, maternity leave, and fertility insurance coverage

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Parental leave and unlimited PTO

Review from Technology and Product Dept

My current compensation is average to low for the city I live in, the job I perform and the experience I have. I know the company line is that we are compensated fairly but through applying to other places I can tell my salary is not very competitive with the rest of the industry

Review from Technology and Product Dept

I would like the matching salary for the country's average based on my experience and education.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Salary review is complete behind closed doors. Minimum salary incease for a very high rating provides a poor long term vision for me at the company as well as for long term employee retention. Also no stock for eu employees, or perhaps its just me.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

The company hasn't figured out how to level the playing field among employees that were hired at different market conditions. More concerning is the utterly undefined and random "bonus" program for eligible employees (eligibility also random), which doesnt scale with salary and is frozen in time

Review from Technology and Product Dept

401k match is below industry standards Health Insurance costs increase faster than salaries

Review from Technology and Product Dept

the technical level and amount of people and systems / stack managed.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

My team is very close-knit. We are part of a broader team, which is itself part of a broader team. My core (every day) team has autonomy over how we work and we influence what we work on. Our culture fosters relationships where we can provide feedback, challenge each other, and learn from each other

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Very smart and fun team members

Review from Technology and Product Dept

dedicated, knowledgable, helpful, and fun

Review from Technology and Product Dept

I enjoy working with a team of highly skilled people. The best thing about working on this team is that I get to learn new things all the time.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

This organization needs to learn that being staffed only by people who have only ever worked her lacks any form of perspective leading to your in ability to articulate a vision or plan for the future

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Working international with team in different countries don't help. Increase the international meeting to align the strategies.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Some coworkers are great (helpful, respectful) but others can be condescending to others which breaks down communications.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Meetings feel adversarial and questions or clarifications are met with animosity.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Some coworker interaction is fine. Team is not united. Need to improve positivity and team mentality. I suggested a DISC team exercise to improve the understanding of different personalities.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

very friendly, young people with lots of ideas and energy to bring change and growth to TKWW

Review from Technology and Product Dept

This company truly cares about its people. It feels like we are all "in this together" - that everyone is constantly learning and striving to achieve our goals. There is a sense of learning together, not a "you needed to know how to do this already". The culture is professional, fun, and kind.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

The flexible work life balance

Review from Technology and Product Dept

inclusive, fun, celebratory, helpful, community

Review from Technology and Product Dept

The feeling of collaboration and that our opinion matters

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Real application of company's mission and values.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Transform the values in real things

Review from Technology and Product Dept

the possibility to learn from top senior figures and expertise on DS.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

I have a very fun and competent team to work with. We are very professional and also use a lot of emoji. :) I love having autonomy to work the way I work best and the freedom to work with my team to keep our processes and standards up to date and change them as needed. No drama, just get stuff done.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

The ability to work from home and still feel part of a team that delivers quality

Review from Technology and Product Dept

my team, my tasks, helping others, and my independence

Review from Technology and Product Dept

When we come together as a team and deliver a great experience for our users

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Very broad question - rethink how to get people to pay for services they can get for free in the internet, figure out how to add value. Make true self-service a thing. Solve or at least mitigate churn. Price hikes are not sustainable for growing revenue.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

Management isn't listening to the concerns of the team and they are not providing guidance to help us all work together effectively. Changes to protocol seem arbitrary and poorly thought out.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

This company has absolutely no leadership nor actual strategy to get out of the nose dive and mature into a company of the size they dream. Wanting to be a billion dollar company is not a strategy. The customers absolutely hate us there is no product vision or plan to get out of the cancels

Review from Technology and Product Dept

There is no vision at this organization - the leaders lack any perspective whatsoever and have not exemplified any ability to lay out a plan for the future. The plan is they want to grow and go public but fail to put any executive leadership in place to get them there.

Review from Technology and Product Dept

I have a hard time seeing how I can progress.
