      Pros

      Free fresh fruit and coffee.

      Cons

      Almost immediately after being hired I would get weekly reminders (from HR)to update my Linkedin and submit any and all KnowBe4 reviews I could. Of course they are requesting positive reviews. Also do yourself a favor and read the small print to the personality tesst. To see who it is copywritten by, it just put a weird vibe on the whole hiring process. They tell you from day 1 not to talk about politics or religion, but you have to pass this "test" to even be hired?

      KnowBe4 does not and can't force positive reviews. We welcome all feedback both good and bad. HR does not send out weekly request to update your LinkedIn or to share KnowBe4 reviews. You are asked once at the start of your employment to update your LinkedIn profile. The only review requested is an "interview review". We ask new employees to do that early on while our interview process is still fresh in their minds. The testing that KnowBe4 uses during the application process is the Taylor Johnson Temperament Analysis® (T-JTA®) This original psychological test has been modified into several different versions. The T-JTA can still be bought on this site: https://www.tjta.com/asp/index.asp. It is used by many organizations around the globe. Given our rapid growth our plans do change and adjust. The whole company meets every morning at 9 AM where the entire staff is briefed on these changes/adjustments by the CEO and other Executives.

      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.
