Pros

There are no pros that unless you are a Scientologist.

Cons

You are told not to discuss politics or religion and one of the first things out of the CEO’s mouth is that he is a Scientologist. Run away!!!

Hi, this is Stu, KnowBe4's CEO. I'm glad you brought this up! Let me address your comment. Everyone in KnowBe4 knows I'm a (proud) Scientologist. But that is where it ends. It would be the same if I was a (proud) Christian, Jew, or Muslim. We are an equal opportunity employer and fully EEOC compliant. There is no discrimination for or against *any* religion. And yes, everyone that works here is asked to keep politics and religion out of the workplace, for reasons that are very obvious because these topics are more divisive every year. When you read this review, know that KnowBe4 does its level best to make this a great place to work for *everyone*! Warm regards, Stu

Pros

Middle management is top class.

Cons

CEO is completely out of touch now. He will justify not giving raises etc… while also bragging about his nice house, and the purchase of a new vehicle. He acts like we all have his type of money laying around. Comp changes turned out to hurt not help. Changes to monthly bonus has us earning less even in months we crush it. Overall, people who loved working here are growing more and more unhappy. Forced RTO for locals. Even if hired for Remote work.

We appreciate your perspective. We deeply care about each Knowster, and we work hard to foster an environment where personal growth, well-being, and mutual support are at the core of our company culture. Our CEO is committed to clear and direct communication, and when asked during an AMA he routinely conducts during our daily company-wide meeting about the Cybertruck, he openly acknowledges his decision to get one. This straightforward approach reflects his commitment to transparency, ensuring everyone is on the same page. Our bonuses are directly tied to sales goals, and I want to emphasize that these goals increase every month. Last year, we cleared over $7,000 in bonuses. There were also year-end pay increases similar to what we have done each year in the past.
