Pros

I have never worked for an organization quite like this. Politics are nil and people are genuinely happy to be here every day. It is not hard to sell a product that is a great value AND helps people fix a big problem they face. It never has that "Car Salesman" feel. The interview process is tough and as much as they need people, they are very picky about who they hire. This is important as it keeps the culture awesome. There are free snacks and a very laid back dress code. The equipment and building are kept in good shape and the view of the bay is awesome. I couldn't ask for more. On a side note, the Founder and CEO genuinely loves his people. You can watch him smile when others are smiling, and it's genuine. He has many people that have worked for him in the past that were thrilled to come back when he started KnowBe4. That says a lot.

Cons

The elevator fills up quickly in the evening? Other than that, I've got nothing.

I am happy that the elevator is our only issue. Of course, as we continue to grow we will work to even make that a better experience.

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.
