      Pros

      I have been with KnowBe4 since the beginning in 2010. I enjoy the freedom that is part of the culture, both personally and professionally. It has been fun to see the company grow and become successful. I have worked at companies in the past where creativity and ingenuity were squashed. That is not the case at KnowBe4 as we encourage creativity and new ideas.

      Cons

      With KnowBe4 being a smaller company it comes with some limitations on perks such as 401k matching, health plan options, etc but they are working on that. As the company gets bigger Im sure more options and perks will become available. Also the temperature controls in this building are horrible, its always too hot or too cold... hopefully the new building will take care of this.

      We now have: 1.) 401K Matching up to 3.5% as of 2019 2.) More heath, dental, vision, life and additional insurances. Finding the right temperature to please everyone can be an interesting adventure. This is why we gave out KB4 team hoodies this year. We work our best to find a balance.

      Pros

      A welcoming and inclusive environment with a patient onboarding team. Work is always fun and collaborative!

      Cons

      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.
