Pros

If you’re reading this, please understand you are reading this review from a former employee. You may be thinking, ‘this is going to be good, I’m going to get the dirt on them’. Think again. KnowBe4 is a place of opportunity. This company is run by IT Cybersecurity visionaries who invest 100% in the strategic goals of the company and their clients, as well the 800 employees who work for the organization. Stu and Lars lead by example and if you are looking for a job in the area, apply within. Upward expansion and growth in your position is encouraged and fully supported by management. Clients come first and are supported by dedicated CSM’s who ensure client success. Doing things Right, Fast and Fun is the company motto end every single employee lives up to the slogan. Their platform is second to none and can be fully automated within hours of the initial set up. I was let go, but I am beyond proud to say I was part of this rapidly expanding Cybersecurity organization.

Cons

None at all. As the company grows and departmental flaws need be addressed, the Growth Department here is superb with handling issues in a timely fashion.

Pros

Great office snacks, free ev charging, cool coworkers

Cons

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
