Pros

Snacks and view, friendly coworkers.

Cons

Lack of upward mobility, not allowed to take any time off last half of every month, Scientologists are hired on and promoted much more easily than others. Senior level mgmt are mostly Scientologists and most lack any formal education or experience. Great place to work if you're in their circle. Otherwise - nope.

Thank you for your review. As a former employee, you know about the incredible amount of career development opportunities we offer such as internal training, performance coaches, an in-house career coach, and how we even pay bonuses for employees to get certifications. As a sales rep, there are many opportunities for growth into leadership positions. We love to see our team members grow into new roles and do everything we can to help with that! Secondly, the leave policy stated in your review is inaccurate. While we offer an open PTO policy, our sales reps can’t take leave in the last week of the month or the last two weeks of a quarter. This is because those are the times our team pulls together to put up huge sales numbers. All of our sales reps are told about this policy before being hired. Finally, you also know about the fact that KnowBe4 has a ‘No Religion and No Politics policy’. While everyone is free to practice their own beliefs, those beliefs are not to be discussed during business hours and in no way impact our company culture or the way our organization is run. We treat all employees the same regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, or sexual orientation. I wish you the best of luck in all of your future endeavors!

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.
