Pros

- There are no secret policies or expectancies - if it is supposed to be a policy or followed, it will be in an authorized piece of documentation everyone has available - As we continue to grow, more documentation, policies and guidelines are developed, modified, or implemented to keep us growing as stable as possible - Backdoor gossip is not tolerated - Complete Honesty is actually a thing, with feedback, assistance and direction also being routine - And a hard pill to swallow is collateral damage or damaging activities are held accountable despite good results achieved. So staff are highly encouraged and directed to do it right the first time, without being an ... jerk about it, without politicking, while getting good results without "ends justify the means" mentality - SO MUCH DOCUMENTATION covered from the moment onboarded as an employee to getting going at a steady click on the job

Cons

- The bar of ethical conduct and anonymity can sometimes be rough getting used to; it is a decent amount of responsibility from the get go - Sometimes needing to pull on the reins on an employee's ramp up onto their job so that it is done right the first time and per our KnowBe4 culture is a adjustment

Great place to work. Easy to get along with people and aligned to a common goal.

At the time the work I was doing wasn't really challenging and kind of boring.

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.
