I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KnowBe4 (Clearwater, FL) in Feb 2017
Interview
I received a call from HR to set up an interview about 10 minutes after I submitted my resume, so obviously they saw something they liked. They invited me into to the office (which is about 5 hours away from where I live; I'm considering relocating to the Clearwater area) for an interview and "computer test." I assumed this test would be software-related, but instead it's a series of timed Scientology recruitment tests, including a personality and IQ test. (The "church" of Scientology home base is just a few blocks away from their office.) I seemed to get along really well with everyone I met, so I was surprised when, three days later, they emailed me with a rejection, but said I could try again in 90 days. (As though the position would even be available then.) I asked for clarification as to what parts of the test I failed, and they flat out refused. The company looks good on paper, but if they use a "religious" recruitment test as a means of hiring, then it was probably a bullet dodged. Based on everything I know about Scientology, I consider it a blessing that I failed their personality test. (I'm fairly certain I nailed the IQ test, so I can only assume it was the 200-question personality test I didn't pass.)
That being said, it did seem like it was too good to be true. Decent benefits, lots of chances to make a ton of money from monthly bonuses, and a really relaxed, open-concept atmosphere. But yeah, if you don't have a Scientology mentality, it probably isn't a good fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One question that I thought was weird during the interview was the department head literally just saying, "Tell me anything." Nothing to really go by. No direction. Other than that, it was a pretty standard interview.
This candidate was given the opportunity to do the tests first since he was 5 hours away but declined the opportunity to do so. The tests measure a candidate's ability to learn and follow instructions as well as give us an indication of how well they work with others. These are obviously important factors one should consider when hiring.

The interview process was organized, easy, and quick. They always kept me updated and were professional and nice throughout. It consisted of two virtual interviews, some tests, and a reference check.
