Pros

Almost 7 years ago, KnowBe4 did not look as put together as it does now (office-wise). There were less than 30 employees and when I walked in for my interview the floor was going through renovations. I was pretty skeptical at first but once the interview process started all my nerves went away and the interviewers made me feel comfortable. I was able to be myself and ended up getting an offer letter right when the interview ended. I signed without hesitation and walked to my car wondering what the heck I had just done. I put faith into a group of people I had just met to start off my career and I'm glad I did! Here are a few reasons why: 1. I've been promoted 7 times since I started. 2. Company-Wide Monthly Bonuses. 3. Open Paid Time Off. 4. Free monthly credits through Classpass so I don't have to pay for a gym membership and have the flexibility to go wherever. 5. I'm able to work remote but I choose to come to the office once a week for the fun atmosphere, daily food carts, unlimited snacks, and the people! 6. Rents out an entire Theme Park for our Holiday Party 7. Everyone is treated equally. I can even walk up to the CEO himself and share ideas or just have a simple conversation. I've never felt like a number here. There are many more reasons but you'll just have to see it for yourself!

Cons

Medical Benefits. It's fine for me but not the best if you have a family. I believe this is something they are working on improving.

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.
