Hello and thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear that you love KnowBe4 and are never leaving! We are definitely striving to make KnowBe4 more diverse, and we can assure you that our leadership is taking the diversity challenge very seriously. We have implemented several Employee Resource Groups for many of our minority populations and have plans for more groups to come soon. We are hiring team members who will solely work on making KnowBe4 a more diverse and welcoming workplace and we are actively recruiting talent from minority-focused platforms and recruitment events. You can help us make KnowBe4 more diverse by spreading the word about why you love working at KnowBe4, sending in employee referrals, and providing any ideas you have related to diversity to our People Operations team.

We move fast, we are radically self so if you cannot roll with the punches to win the belt at the end, this isn't the place for you!

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.
