Pros

Smart people, cool technology, nice offices

Cons

Company is ran by religious zealots. If you are a Scientologist, you will love it. If you’re not, you will be discriminated against and subjected to their beliefs and strange behaviors daily. Employees play petty office politics over unwritten and unspoken rules. Environment is tense all the time. Nerf gun fights all the time, felt like a middle school being run by the students.

Foremost, we would like to reiterate that KnowBe4 has a strict “no politics or religion” policy in the workplace. We credit this policy as a major reason why 95% of employees said, “people here are treated fairly regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion” during our most recent, company-wide, anonymous survey run by the third-party, Great Place To Work Institute. Our team is seriously committed to expanding diversity, equity, and inclusion within our workplace. As for the Nerf fights, the vast majority of our support team loves them as a fun break during the day and many team members get very into them as a team bonding experience! It is unfortunate that this cultural aspect was not a fit for you. We wish you the best of luck in finding an organization that better fits what you are looking for.

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.
