Pros

Flexible PTO (used to be unlimited, recently changed to flexible)

Kontras

This place is constantly getting worse in terms of employee experience. Layoffs, forced RTO, leaders and reps leaving left and right. Quota attainment is BAD right now, nobody can hit their numbers and they continue to increase quota quarterly. Their strategy is to always dangle something shiny that’s coming next quarter or next year, but when the time comes it’s a complete letdown. Recent GTM changes in Q2 2024 were a dumpster fire with a ton of people leaving the company. Starting in Q4 2023 they told us we’d be getting huge raises to get us to market standard, better benefits, better tech to sell with. Then the time came and they gave us abysmal raises that in no way reflect the current market, nothing changed with benefits other than some were taken away, so far we have no tech improvements and the tech we do have is broken and unusable. Our comp plans were changed to something so overly complicated that you almost don’t noticed how badly your commissions were slashed…almost. Forced us back in the office 3x/week even when hired remotely. Now they’re telling us “But 2025 will be different!” and expecting us to believe them. My advice is don’t work here unless you’re desperate. It’s toxic and only getting worse.

Hi Knowster. Our HR responses are not “BS”. They are simply the truth. A lot did change when we rolled out our new GTM strategy and we have done our best to keep all Knowsters in the loop as these changes have occurred. We have added to our tech stack on the sales side. At no point did anyone say “huge raises” were coming. What was said was that compensation, both base and variable, would be adjusted as we moved to an ARR model with new roles and responsibilities for many positions. Depending on the role, some base pays were significantly increased. Yes, as part of the restructuring, some roles were no longer needed. If you have questions about utilizing your resources to their full capacity, please get with your manager.

Pros

not many pros left with the current leadership and direction, but it's still a good place to work to learn about the industry and gain skills

Kontras

executive leadership and the equity ownership have taken this company to the gutter sadly, there isn't any culture left and the product keeps getting worse with only more hype about how they're on top of the AI revolution. Almost all the leaders and thinkers who made KnowBe4 great have left or were pushed out, which is normal with a CEO change but the folks taking on "change management" are clueless about the business and about the teams they're in charge of. The product needs to regain it's quality and customer friendly design, right now it's losing out to smaller vendors and issues are continually overlooked.
