      Pros

      The no discussing politics and religion rule is followed Fun work atmosphere when you're in office No @$$hole rule is amazing "Don't get arrested on your way to work" dress code is great Health insurance for individuals is great If your department needs a tool/software in order to perform better, they are more than willing to purchase it as long as you make a good business case The 1st week of training is amazing and really sets a great tone for starting your career at KB4 The director of on boarding is AMAZING and makes that first week great Unlimited commission for sales Profit sharing bonus They will promote easily as you prove yourself Lots of great extra benefits CEO is great and really cares about his employees and company

      Cons

      You're told to consider the profit sharing bonus as part of your salary but most people will not get a merit bonus Salaries are below market While in the same position it's difficult to get a raise The no @$$hole rule apparently doesn't apply to the head of Employee Relations or head of HR Family health insurance is ridiculously expensive

      Hello and thank you for taking the time you leave us your feedback. While you don’t seem unhappy at KnowBe4, you also don’t seem as happy as you could be. We want to make all of our Knowsters as happy as possible so we strongly suggest you utilize the many resources available to you to help address your concerns. You can use the suggestion boxes, speak to your management, or reach out to your coach. You can also speak to a member of employee relations; if you feel like one particular member of ER isn’t listening to your concerns, we suggest reaching out to a different member, as each may have a different view of the situation and provide you with different resources. You can even address concerns with Stu (our CEO) directly - after all, we have a “no door” policy for a reason.

      Pros

      A welcoming and inclusive environment with a patient onboarding team. Work is always fun and collaborative!

      Cons

      Training and onboarding process is thorough but only to ensure all employees are keeping themselves and the companies information safe online!

      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.
