Pros

KnowBe4 has put together a unique combination of talent and technology in a new space. Since I arrived, the company has continued to grow and it has been great to see all the internal promotions and advancements that individuals have made. Stu is a special leader and he has created an atmosphere like no other that I have worked in. Executives are given the freedom to build out their areas in a manner which best aligns with the goals they have been given. Leadership welcomes feedback from all levels of the team. The team bonus plan is great at getting everyone to pull together to reach our common goals. This is the place I'd like to eventually retire from.

Cons

With the growth, it is impossible to know everyone now. Going public has added some "red tape" to adhere to all the compliances that private companies don't have to worry about.

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.
