Pros

Snacks in the break room

Cons

it was okay when I started. But then we got a new CEO and everything went downhill. Mass exodus started occurring due to things such as RTO and the pay being WAY below market average. It’s crazy that they spent so much money at the Blackhat convention wrapping taxis to take people around….. yet claim to have no budget for simple things we ask for such as a small salary increase. On top of that they are opening a brand new office in DC and I bet it’s because that’s where Bryan resides. KnowBe4 joined forces with another company who is based in NYC and they treat those SDRs and employees better than ours and give more recognition - how is that fair?? I also heard that they got rid of the 30 mile radius rule for those that live far, so that they don’t have to come in the office 4 days a week. They must want more people to quit! The recent 5 star reviews that have been left are DEFINITELY a lie

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.
