Pros

Pay, vacation, great with leave if you need it, benefits

Cons

Micromanaged to death. Even if you hit goals they don't let up. People that have been there for a while don't have to make any calls to got goals. Good leads seem to be filtered to management and people that they seem can close them. They close more because they are given more opportunity. 99% cold calling

I am sorry you feel that way. Just to clarify, it is 100% false that we have sales reps on the floor that "don't have to make any calls". We have a shared system where anyone can see others' call numbers. The lead system is an automated round robin, Leads are not assigned by any single individual. Favoritism is impossible with the current configuration. There is no micromanagement unless an individual is not keeping up with their leads. As a team, we do "push" beyond the point of hitting initial targets because we all want to keep having record setting months and quarters. The pushing is not stressful as anyone here on the last fews day a month would see. There are cheers, horns going off and a TON of positive motivation to do more than we have ever done before.

Pros

Working here has changed my life for the better in ways that I could not have dreamed when I started. I will never forget the first day that I walked through the glass doors of KnowBe4. The energy was pulsing, everyone looked engaged, and I could tell that this was a vibrant culture and a place that I wanted to be without hesitation. Over my time here, that feeling has been confirmed time and time again. This company is a place for passionate people who thrive in a fast growing environment. It is a place for people who embrace life and find value in growth and learning. We align our objectives. We solve problems. We all know our roles and we seek to fulfill our duties with determination and laughter. The growth opportunities have been incredible. The book recommendations from Stu, have been invaluable. The internal training is ongoing and the limit of what you can do here really is up to you. I am thankful that my role enabled me to work across all of the departments here. I have met amazing people in every single one. My favorite moments all revolve around working together with those teams. If you love what you do and would love to do it with people who feel the same way, then you will fit in well here. I have enjoyed every minute. I have nothing but gratitude for all the moments, and all of the great experiences; I will look back fondly on the memories that I have made here. At the core of everything is Stu (our CEO) and the culture that he has created. It is truly inspiring. It is sad to leave, but we had been planning to move to be closer to my family in DC and the time has come. But I will never forget KnowBe4 and I will be its biggest fan for the rest of my life. Right. Fast. Fun

Cons

None. Being here was amazing. I feel lucky to have been a part of KnowBe4 and will consider myself a KB4 alum. Knowster forever.
