Pros

free snacks in the office

Cons

as I heard more and more colleagues are planning to leave and actively seeking for other opportunities. I think I have to let the public know what employees think about KnowBe4.the pay for employees is way below industry average considering how much profit they make, with inflation rate is so high nowadays and increasing living expenses, you will see all the executives drive x-million luxury cars and park them in the parking lot like a car show while most of their employees struggling with paying their bills because the company cut all the bonuses and don't give people fair yearly pay raise, it makes you feel like you are the dog eating some scraps from a rich and stingy man's table. it is horrible that the profit only goes to very few and top people and they don't care about their employees, what they do is absolutely disgusting and no integrity. as a public company ,how they treat their employees is a shame! DON'T WORK FOR KNOWBE4.

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.
