KnowBe4 reviews

Stu here! Thanks for providing us with your feedback. The executive leaders and I remain dedicated to our core principles of radical transparency and extreme ownership, so let me simply explain the changes happening around KnowBe4 to you and any other reader on Glassdoor. KnowBe4 is optimizing for the current effects of the economic cycle, and as part of that we are no longer offering the KnowBe4 Compliance Manager product. In our 12 years as a company we have seen massive headcount growth, but eventually every organization that lasts long enough is bound to have some restructuring. The looming recession has impacted our business strategy and workforce much less than many of the major tech companies that have had to lay off thousands of employees; however, we have not been unaffected. As CEO, I have made some hard decisions to optimize KnowBe4, so we not only withstand a global recession but continue to grow through it. The majority of the changes and reorganization did not impact employment. The few changes that did impact employment were isolated events, and the executive leaders of those teams have been directly communicating to the members of the affected teams. As always, my first priority has been to care for the people affected by the changes. We first looked at reallocating team members to other open positions within KnowBe4. For the few who could not or did not want to change roles, we provided an ample severance package. Above all, I wanted to ensure these team members were cared for as they transitioned away from KnowBe4 to find other opportunities. I am determined to keep KnowBe4 a highly efficient, sane, fast, and fun workplace - with the positive and supportive culture that our Knowsters love. I hope this explanation gives you the clarity you are looking for. I appreciate the work you have done for KnowBe4, and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. - Sincerely, Stu Sjouwerman
