Going on 7 Years With KnowBe4 and Why I Don't Leave

Pros

Almost 7 years ago, KnowBe4 did not look as put together as it does now (office-wise). There were less than 30 employees and when I walked in for my interview the floor was going through renovations. I was pretty skeptical at first but once the interview process started all my nerves went away and the interviewers made me feel comfortable. I was able to be myself and ended up getting an offer letter right when the interview ended. I signed without hesitation and walked to my car wondering what the heck I had just done. I put faith into a group of people I had just met to start off my career and I'm glad I did! Here are a few reasons why: 1. I've been promoted 7 times since I started. 2. Company-Wide Monthly Bonuses. 3. Open Paid Time Off. 4. Free monthly credits through Classpass so I don't have to pay for a gym membership and have the flexibility to go wherever. 5. I'm able to work remote but I choose to come to the office once a week for the fun atmosphere, daily food carts, unlimited snacks, and the people! 6. Rents out an entire Theme Park for our Holiday Party 7. Everyone is treated equally. I can even walk up to the CEO himself and share ideas or just have a simple conversation. I've never felt like a number here. There are many more reasons but you'll just have to see it for yourself!

Cons

Medical Benefits. It's fine for me but not the best if you have a family. I believe this is something they are working on improving.

Pros

As a recent hire, the best thing so far has been the emphasis on company culture. I felt included and part of the team right away. My coworkers have been helpful, patient, and a joy to work with. I feel comfortable asking questions, voicing my opinions, and being myself. There's lots of opportunity for internal growth, including coaching and assistance with finding what path suits you!

Cons

Not necessarily a true "con" but it is hard work! Expectations are high, but there's excitement around meeting those expectations. These are some of the most hard-working people I have ever worked with.

Pros

KnowBe4 has put together a unique combination of talent and technology in a new space. Since I arrived, the company has continued to grow and it has been great to see all the internal promotions and advancements that individuals have made. Stu is a special leader and he has created an atmosphere like no other that I have worked in. Executives are given the freedom to build out their areas in a manner which best aligns with the goals they have been given. Leadership welcomes feedback from all levels of the team. The team bonus plan is great at getting everyone to pull together to reach our common goals. This is the place I'd like to eventually retire from.

Cons

With the growth, it is impossible to know everyone now. Going public has added some "red tape" to adhere to all the compliances that private companies don't have to worry about.
