Growth and Support in a Fun Work Environment

Pros

I feel lucky to have found KnowBe4. This has been an amazing place to grow my career and I see no end to that career growth in the near future. Between rapidly growing teams, dedicated time for professional development, certification reimbursement (plus bonuses!), career coaching, and performance coaching, I can continue to grow my career at KnowBe4 for a long time. Plus the company culture is unmatched. The people are all amazing. Everyone is happy and motivated, which makes me happy and more motivated to work. Plus there is a whole team here called "Fun and Shennanigans" that is responsible for awesome events and keeping everyone happy. Also, I made $25k in additional bonuses last year (between company-wide monthly bonuses, certification bonuses, and an end-of-year performance bonus). That's a lot of money on top of my base pay!

Cons

Policies, procedures, and additional training can feel like a bit much at times (though I understand the need to build clear processes in a growing organization). Health insurance could be better

Pros

The people were upbeat, seemingly easy to get along with. Lots of big perks. I was looking forward to growing with them as a team member.

Cons

I didn't get to experience the role. After a personality test, an aptitude test, multiple video interviews and phone interviews, background check, etc - they were super excited to hire me. First day, working at home and I was on screen with our new hire team for a total of 4 hours before I was asked to join another Zoom - and then promptly "let go" because I was "not a good fit"? It made absolutely no sense at all what transpired and they wouldn't answer my questions as to how they came to that determination. It was abrupt and final.

Hello, your situation is very uncommon and isolated, as only .63% of employees have been let go during the onboarding process within the past year. There are only a few reasons that have warranted letting someone go during onboarding. When that is the case, our Employee Relations team works to provide a smooth exit for the employee while collecting as much information as possible on the employee’s experience at KnowBe4, so we can continue to improve our organization for everyone. It looks like we weren’t the best fit for you, and we wish you the very best on all your future endeavors.
