Pros

Salary. Free food and bonuses. View.

Cons

My department had a downright disorganized, degrading, inconsiderate, nasty manager. She was still there when I left. The open door policy certainly didn’t work the handful of times my associates and I went to HR. The CEO was aware of the situation and nothing was fixed. In fact, it got worse. Successful company, but I highly recommend you proceed with caution. My experience was a great disappointment. My expectations were high.

I am sorry to hear that you felt your voice wasn't heard. Sometimes when a company expands at the rate we are that can happen even in the best attempts to avoid it. If you are willing, I would like to still try to resolve it. You can reach out to me at hr@knowbe4.com. We never want unhappy employees.

Best Company I've Worked For In My Career!

Pros

You get treated equally. The company culture is amazing! I've never seen anything like it. All employees - including the managers and executives (even Stu) - get the same monthly cash bonuses if the entire company reaches the sales quota. This makes everyone work together like a real team! There are morning meetings everyday at 9 AM and Stu keeps everyone updated - how awesome is that?! Every employee knows exactly what is expected of them. Every employee knows that this is a workplace so you've gotta do work but it is a lot of fun! There are free snacks. Bean bags to take short naps on after lunch (make sure to tell your manager though so that they know where to find you...lol). Overall, KnowBe4 is growing super fast!

Cons

I don't know of any at this time.

We practice radical transparency, when you are in hyper-growth everyone really needs to be on the same page, you cannot treat anyone like mushrooms! :-))) Warm regards, Stu
