Pros

Some nice colleagues, able to work from home

Cons

Managers that have never managed people before that have no idea how to lead. Toxic leadership that overlooks blatant HR violations. If you don’t fit in expect to be micromanaged and nit picked for every small “mistake”. Tons of turnover especially in sales. People are constantly leaving. Also your stats will be closely monitored and expect to be spoken to if you fall even slightly behind. Terrible pay. No diversity especially in management. And they highly encourage good reviews so read them with that in mind. Strangest place I’ve ever worked.

We’re disappointed to hear your thoughts but thankful for your feedback. We would love some more information about the team you were on and the specific issues you felt you had with your leadership. If you would be willing to reach out to the People Operations team to provide us with more feedback, we would appreciate it. We would also like to note that we certainly do ask employees to leave feedback on Glassdoor, but we never ask for specifically good reviews. Glassdoor is a great tool for collecting anonymous feedback from employees so we can continue to improve our organization. We value every review left here - the good and the bad, so thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

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

Cons

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.
