Pros

I feel obligated to write this post after seeing previous posts telling people to run because of the Scientology. I am a Christian and have worked at KnowBe4 for over a year. I LOVE it here. They do not talk about religion or politics at work. So no need to run. The CEO is literally one of the most generous human beings I have ever met. He does so much for us. Most CEO's would prefer to keep all of their money. Stu gives away hundreds of thousands of dollars to his employees every month. I am so grateful for Stu and his generousity. I love the people that work here. The atmosphere is upbeat and exciting. We get free gym memberships. And they have free sun chips. But only for the scientologists. Jk. They're for everyone. ;)

Cons

I don't love the hours. I wish some shifts would be 7-4 and some 9-6 depending on the employees outside commitments. But honestly I can't think of anything else I don't like. I am not complaining.

Thanks very much :-D Appreciate the kudos! And yes, we have had company policy from Day One to keep politics and religion out of the office, they are divisive topics you do not need in the workplace. And good news... we actually have a flex schedule these days, however your manager needs to approve that based on the team and your workload. Warm regards, Stu

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.
