Pros

KB4 treats it’s employees like HUMANS. We are encouraged to be our most authentic self, to put our health (physical and mental) first, to put our families first, to rest and vacation when needed. KnowBe4 values the whole, not just the value you bring as an employee. It’s a genuine environment that fosters well being. Also, the possibility for career growth is amazing. So many people are getting promoted all the time. You can do anything you set your mind to here! There’s loads of support and always room for growth. I love it here!

Cons

In the CSM department pay is lower than industry average. They say they will address it soon. But with inflation at an all time high, it can’t come soon enough. I can’t speak for other departments. Aside from base salaries that aren’t competitive, this place is amazing!

Hey Knowster! We are happy to hear there are so many aspects you love about working at KnowBe4; like our professional development opportunities, Open PTO, and overall company culture that encourages employees to be their authentic selves at work! Thank you for providing your feedback regarding salaries in our CSM department. We understand the frustrations that can come with commission-based roles. We also recognize the economy is constantly changing, which is why earlier this year in January, we provided a 5% cost of living adjustment to our employees to combat inflation, and are also offering an additional adjustment in August 2022. Additionally, we increased OTE for all CSM positions to stay competitive with current market pay. Your feedback is important to us, which is why we have immediately shared this information with our leadership team. We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, and wish you the very best in your career with us!

Pros

Genuinely nice ppl work here Will hire you with no CSM experience, they allow you to learn on the job many companies won't do that. They promote fairly fast which is cool.

Cons

VERY high turnover, 4 ppl from my class alone quit within 6 months, and others I know are currently looking for other roles. Low pay, below market average. The biggest con is the workload. To get all your work done, you have to come in earlier or leave later. It's not like management will ask you to stay late, but you will get pulled aside and asked why certain things aren't done, so you stay late to avoid those conversations. I realized I was working for less pay, so I left. And since its salary and no overtime pay, you are essentially working for free. I understand maybe having to stay late a few times a quarter, but once it's constant, that's an issue for me. I don't think the company intentionally overworks CSM'S I believe the constant turnover is the issue for why we had so many accounts. When someone leaves they spread those accounts onto the team, which means more clients to handle.

We are happy to hear that you enjoyed several aspects of KnowBe4, such as your coworkers. However, we’d like to address a few of your concerns. Current industry standards show that our CSMs manage an average number of clients for an organization our size. Additionally, we continue to invest in headcount across the business with total headcount increasing by about 35% versus the end of Q1 2021, which drove the vast majority of our operating expense increases. We hope you find an organization that is the right fit for you!
