Vantaggi

You know that saying about bonds forged in fire? That. If you're looking for people to drink with, you'll find them aplenty.

Svantaggi

Pretty much everything about the job. The pay is poor, there are no benefits, they tout minimum employment standards as perks (looking at you, stat holidays + 10). They give very little freedom or autonomy but expect total ownership of the sales process. The human aspect means that if you get bad sales, you get bad sales. A lot of prospects see the company as a scam and the number/email domain is blocked by most spam filters. They push for unethical if not illegal sales tactics and give little to no training on how to actually sell - ironic for a training and development company. If you're interested and good at sales, I'd give it a shot if you have no other options but if you have morals or literally any other prospects, save yourself the trauma.

Vantaggi

The only positive thing I can mention is that the head trainer Peter Thomson is a stand-up guy who knows what he's doing. I don't know how TKA keeps him. He's better quality than to work for them.

Svantaggi

The Knowledge Academy TKA is the worst I've seen in 30 years in IT I was contacted to train for The Knowledge Academy (TKA). I conducted TOGAF certification level one and two classes in Memphis May 1-4. TKA is by far the worst company I have ever been involved with in my entire 30 year+ career. I was (under)paid $300 a day for teaching a class they were charging $5000 per delegate to attend. They arranged the hotel (not allowed to do it myself). It was a ghetto hotel, in the midst of abandon buildings with a drug dealer stationed out front. The floors were sticky to walk on and infested with Cockroaches. The coordinators - all from India - couldn't write emails in discernable English and were totally lacking in any customer service etiquette. If you're a Trainer - BEWARE!. If you're a potential delegate! There are better cheaper (half the price) certification mills in abundance. They are horrible. D- or F score. Every possible horrible thing they do. Over Charge delegates. Under Pay trainers. Horrible customer service. Coordinators in India don't know how to craft a whole sentence or even spell it right. They will not pay you promptly.
