Pros

Fast onboarding and great training

Cons

Horrible culture. Micro management. Lack of communication although it is such a highly micro managed organization. Without no vivid reason I was laid off. I had sickness of 1 day during my 1 month probation period and that was used as excuse when I was informed they were firing me on the spot. I kept speaking to the trainers and my manager if all was on track with my training and if there was any feedback on my performance, but I was informed that all was going as it should. I have never worked in such a bad culture and environment where there is NO trust from management and upper management. I have worked in the tech industry for years, mainly Fortune 500 companies, and never have I ever experienced such bad communication, horrible culture and lack of trust from management/upper management. I wish I had never signed a contract with KnowBe4. It only turned out to be a HUGE positive thing to get laid off.

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.
