Pros

From day one to now, almost five years later, I know I made the right career choice by joining KnowBe4. It truly is a unique company and I know that this experience will set a hard to beat, high bar for my professional career. Management constantly pushes you to learn and develop your professional skills. You are also given a lot of autonomy and ability to make a difference. The environment is fun and exciting, even with part of the office working remote.

Cons

No cons. The only reason I can see someone not being a good fit for this company is if they do not play well with others or if they are mostly self-interested. This company requires you to be a team player. You cannot just settle with doing the bare minimum. You have to want to continually improve yourself and the company. If you are just looking for a 9-5 for a paycheck and to do routine tasks, please look elsewhere, or if you are the kind of person to feel the need to ask what is in it for you in order to stay motivated, you will not be a good cultural fit. If you are a self-starter, motivated and genuinely care about others, this is a dream job and you will do well 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.
