Pros

1. The flexibility and agility is insane! The speed with which things are done makes it easier to achieve your goals and the work even starts to be fun. 2. The freedom to work the way that's best for you. Once you get in here you will be onboarded and trained - they give you all the needed knowledge and tools to do your job and once you show that you are good to go, you are free to create/use a routine that works best for you - of course, without disturbing the general organisation procedure. They are also super open for suggestions and ideas to make things better - like asking for feedback and implementing them for future situations. 3. There are always things to do, but it does not feel like it's too much to handle. Management is also very clear and supportive about targets and expectations, so one always has a good point of orientation.

Cons

The team is globally dispersed and you still see everyone 1-2 times every day. Nevertheless, a possibility to meet in person would be nice.

Pros

The company culture is as it is stated on the website, the people are great, productive and a fantastic bunch of people. I am working fully remote but I have never felt this connected to a company ever with Slack being so alive and the whole team is very collaborative.

Cons

I work in the APAC time zone so collaborating with the US is a little difficult time zone wise and a lot of successful actions are based on US activities or records. So for me, sometimes that slows things down in terms of decision but having worked in multiple US based companies, I am used to it so it isn't so bad as long as you prepare for it.

Pros

Unlimited pto is about the only pro left

Cons

Great marketing to attract talent, but once you’re in you’ll see the truth. People are voluntarily leaving in droves. Low wages, benefits are being scaled back or eliminated month by month. No guaranteed bonuses. Extreme micromanaging!!! They have their hoards of Scientologist employees posting positive reviews to drown out the bad reviews that are piling up. The 5 star reviews are a lie, do not believe them! Total scam.

First, we would like to share the fact that KnowBe4 has 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. In regards to the bonuses, all employees (after their first 90 days) can earn monthly bonuses between $0 and $2,000 based on company-wide sales. This year we have already awarded a $2,000 monthly bonus plus several smaller bonuses, and it does vary monthly. We are no longer offering benefits that had extremely small employee usage percentages (such as ClassPass and the discounts program) and instead investing in expanding our benefits that a large percentage of employees utilize (such as healthcare and team-building events). Finally, it is also important to note that it is impossible to control Glassdoor reviews in any quantity that would affect the ratings of a company with over 1,100 reviews. We know not everyone will love working at KnowBe4, but the vast majority of employees do, as is evident by external surveys, awards, and Glassdoor reviews.
