Pros

KnowBe4 is an energized, friendly, and transparent workspace. Do you want to work somewhere where every day feels like an adventure? Like your job is to protect people? KnowBe4 is an amazing company with a goal: Protect people online, and make money and have fun doing it. You will find a community of people who will work had and have fun together throughout the day. Of all the places I have worked, the office environment is hands-down the best I've ever been in.

Cons

Be ready to work your tail off. KnowBe4 is moving at hyperspeed. If you do not get with the fast-paced program, you will be left behind. That is why they only take quality applicants and will put you through the paces. On top of this, the work hours are non-negotiable. Expect to be here 9-6 every day. Fortunately, the company give you up o an hour for lunch and takes care of the employees at the end of the month for lunch, to keep everyone motivated on reaching the best outcome. You have an open vacation policy - I don't know how much you'll use it.

Work hours are negotiable with Flex Time! This is a change in 2018. In hiring we look for that top 1% of employees who are ready to work hard, work fast and have a great time while doing it. We are super glad you are here!!!!

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.
