Pros

Unlimited PTO Coworkers are nice

Cons

It’s frustrating when at RKO, the annual revenue kickoff KnowBe4 provides for the sales team, we’re all being told that the new comp plan is “the best comp plan they’ve ever seen.” When it’s finally rolled out, it’s laughable that that was even said. This is the first real month of it being live and I didn’t lose a single account. 100% logo retention. But, since one of the companies that renewed sold off 2/3 of their business, I got hit with uncontrollable churn with the reduction in their license count. The result is a literal $0 payout for having every single account renew. When it comes to our pay, they don’t announce the monthly bonus game metrics, which is going away by the way, until 1 week before the end of the month. We’re hitting all time highs in revenue at times and the bonus they give their employees is lucky yo be $400. We used to get $2000 a month consistently from this.

Pros

The product has some strong aspects, but it’s ultimately outdated, and customers are already planning to replace us at their next renewal.

Cons

The new CEO has been very difficult to work under. There’s a lack of structure and clear vision, and he hasn’t been able to inspire the team. Instead, the focus has shifted to constant pressure to perform, which often feels excessive. My manager is worried about job security, and that stress trickles down to the rest of us. I have been shouted at and more. HR won't do nothing. Turnover has been extremely high—people are leaving left and right. Someone I spoke with last week is already gone, and several more are expected to leave soon. Many of the new hires seem to have prior connections with the CEO or other managers, and it’s obvious who’s in the inner circle. Customer complaints are increasing, making it hard to stay motivated. Competitors are ahead, and we’re often asking customers to wait for features that take a long time to deliver—and don’t always work as expected. Instead of focusing on fixing issues, the company seems more focused on letting people go. This is a very toxic place.
