Hello and thank you for your feedback. As a former employee, you know that KnowBe4 is all about training! All of our team members start their journey in KB4 University to go through KnowBe4's famous onboarding experience and receive comprehensive training. This is followed by continuous on-the-job training and consistent access to our in-house career development and performance coaches. We place a huge focus on continued education and professional development, which is why we give all team members 5 hours a week to learn new skills or master old ones. We even have certification bonuses for those who receive industry-related certifications. We also ask you kindly not to discriminate against any religion as we accept all individuals and treat them equally regardless of religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, or sexual orientation; we hope you would do the same. You also know that we have 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. We wish you the best of luck in all future endeavors!

Pros

I love the true radical transparency, complete honesty, and extreme ownership here! The company culture is truly supportive and works hard to ensure that what is done is best for the humans that work and do business with KB4.

Cons

Not all positions are fully remote and remote working culture is not fully embraced. Those employees that have been with the company for a while are expected to come into the office simply because they once did.

Pros

Best in class product Uncapped comission Holiday party

Cons

-Need to part of club to be at the top. Look online at courses completed and youll notice most of the directors and c-level are part of the "club" -Monthly Bonus essentially doesnt exisit any longer (under 10k this past yr) -Padding books by forcing companies to renew earlier and closing deals with crazy discounts or terms hurting the reps comission. -No visibility into the round robin system. -Unlimited PTO was used as a means to go public and employees are taking off less days as already mandated no sales person can take off last week of month.

We certainly hope candidates will read our responses to negative reviews as we hope you will read this response and follow up with us further - that’s why we write the responses :). Firstly, we never require employees to write positive reviews of KnowBe4 anywhere. Stu, our CEO, asks employees to leave reviews a few times a year so we can collect anonymous feedback and continue to improve KnowBe4, but we would not and can not force anyone to leave us positive feedback on any of these platforms. Every employee is free to write what they wish, as you were free to write this review. Secondly, our company-wide bonus game is also still going strong and actually earned employees more than $15,000 of additional pay throughout 2021! Thirdly, there is no club of any kind that our senior leaders have to be a part of. We look for a diverse group of leaders who can all bring different perspectives to KnowBe4. Finally, our policy for the round robin system is readily available for all employees to access (even those outside of sales). Please connect with your management if you need help locating this policy in our knowledge center. If you would like to provide us with more detailed feedback on your experience we would love to hear it. Please reach out to Employee Relations or submit your feedback through our anonymous suggestion boxes posted on every floor in our offices and virtually.
