Pros

Unlimited PTO. Good product to work with.

Cons

All this org does is lie. They preached at us for months that they are “radically transparent” and there would be no layoffs, and then did just that and have been incredibly cowardly in not addressing it and pretending it didn’t happen. They are forcing RTO, regardless of your contract and ignoring their own policies. Yet, tell us they are “strictly” enforced. These policies only serve to benefit their beloved Scientologists. This org is rooted in Scientology rhetoric and it is incredibly concerning. They tell us how great we’re doing and have high sales goals, yet cut our pay, employees, and increased the work load. They also preach about the customer experience but their actions show they could care less and it’s all about the money. I imagine more layoffs will be coming. Stay away from this organization.

Hello. First and foremost, we have a very strict no religion and no politics policy at KnowBe4. Our policies and procedures are standard business practices that most global technology companies adhere to. We do indeed pride ourselves on radical transparency and have done our best to keep all Knowsters in the loop of company-wide changes that are happening. We are undergoing restructuring to align with our new go-to-market strategy. This included increased compensation plans across the board, especially for our customer-facing Knowsters. It also required restructuring certain areas to ensure the best customer experience. If you have special circumstances that prevent you from being able to return to the office on a hybrid work schedule, please get in touch with our People Operations team to ensure proper accommodations are made.

Pay is below our competitors Zero consideration for taking on a larger work load. Far and few one on ones with managers. Always told to keep killing it. No guidance provided for upward mobility. RTO for local employees

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. This year, we've introduced new pay plans to ensure competitive compensation. As we transition to a hybrid Return to Office (RTO) model for local employees for certain company departments, our goal is to maintain a collaborative work environment where everyone can learn and grow in their careers. If you have specific career growth and management support concerns, please contact People Operations directly.
