The perks and bonuses are nice.

There is no pay consistency. If they like you, you get paid more. If not, good luck.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Our goal is to make KnowBe4 a fantastic place to work for every Knowster around the globe and we are disappointed to hear that this was your experience. Although base pay varies for every Knowster based on experience, department, and productivity, we do not have an “if we like you, you get paid more” policy ;) and we do our best to provide company-wide adjustments and compensation raises as necessary. We also just hired a Senior Director of Compensation Analysis who will work with leadership on making effective pay decisions and designing compensation programs for all positions at KnowBe4.

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.
