      KnowBe4 - Vista Gone Wrong - Account Manager KnowBe4 Employee Review

      Pros

      You won't get fired if you don't hit quota as it's unattainable.

      Cons

      Low compensation, no opportunities for growth, losing top talent due to unwillingness to promote within or pay industry standards (resulting in mass exodus), low morale, and inadequate professional development. Vista has tunnel vision on one billion ARR and upper management (VPs, SVP, etc.) is unwilling to challenge Vista or the status quo for the benefit of the frontline workers as this could jeopardize their stock options when Vista sells.

We have also promoted over 70 employees so far this year, as we have plenty of growth opportunities, especially in the revenue sector. We have zero tolerance for favoritism, so please contact the People Operations team to report any misconduct.

      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.
