Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We never want anyone to feel “locked” to their computer while working at KnowBe4. On the contrary, we treat employees like adults and give them freedom, transparency, and flexibility. During training, we want to support employees as much as possible by keeping the trainers accessible, so our new team members join a virtual meeting room where they can ask for a trainer’s help at any time. Videos can be turned off, audio can be muted, and people can come and go, but trainers are always available when needed. If you have any more specific feedback about what you find “strange” about KnowBe4’s culture we would love to hear It. You can share your feedback through our anonymous suggestion boxes, your manager, or the People Operations team.

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.
