      Pros

      Unlimited pto is about the only pro left

      Cons

      Great marketing to attract talent, but once you’re in you’ll see the truth. People are voluntarily leaving in droves. Low wages, benefits are being scaled back or eliminated month by month. No guaranteed bonuses. Extreme micromanaging!!! They have their hoards of Scientologist employees posting positive reviews to drown out the bad reviews that are piling up. The 5 star reviews are a lie, do not believe them! Total scam.

      First, we would like to share the fact that KnowBe4 has a ‘No Religion and No Politics policy.’ While everyone is free to practice their own beliefs, those beliefs are not to be discussed during business hours and in no way impact our company culture or the way our organization is run. In regards to the bonuses, all employees (after their first 90 days) can earn monthly bonuses between $0 and $2,000 based on company-wide sales. This year we have already awarded a $2,000 monthly bonus plus several smaller bonuses, and it does vary monthly. We are no longer offering benefits that had extremely small employee usage percentages (such as ClassPass and the discounts program) and instead investing in expanding our benefits that a large percentage of employees utilize (such as healthcare and team-building events). Finally, it is also important to note that it is impossible to control Glassdoor reviews in any quantity that would affect the ratings of a company with over 1,100 reviews. We know not everyone will love working at KnowBe4, but the vast majority of employees do, as is evident by external surveys, awards, and Glassdoor reviews.

      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.
