Pros

KB4 has some really great people working there. On the surface, they have a great culture and offer some pretty cool perks to their employees. There's a great view from the top floors of the offices.

Cons

Nepotism is visible at its finest. How well you will do at KB4 all depends on who you are and who you know, and this will be reflective in your pay equity. DEI efforts are very surface level and just there to go after awards, and the word "equity" isn't even used in conjunction with diversity. Teams are pressured to go for awards using false and inaccurate information to make the culture look better than it is. Pay inequity is off the chart, and is based on who you are and where you lean. The company preaches that it values extreme honest and radical transparency, but this is barely visible within the organization. Speaking out against what is wrong is not valued, and those who once worked alongside are the first to turn their backs. If you are different and of a diverse background, just forget about it.

We are disappointed to hear that you left KnowBe4 with a negative impression. As a long-time Knowster, you must know that KnowBe4 has numerous checks and balances in place to ensure that favoritism, nepotism, and discrimination of any type can not affect promotions, pay, or any other aspects of KnowBe4. We keep our recruiters deeply involved in the internal promotion process so that they can bring an unbiased, third-party opinion to the process, and our teams have set requirements for performance statistics that must be met prior to earning a promotion. We even have an entire position, the Director of Compensation, who ensures that KnowBe4 is paying fair, equitable, and competitive wages. Our Director of Global Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging and her team have spent the last few years implementing invaluable tools and resources to create a truly welcoming and inclusive work environment. It is because of these systems and our great culture that KnowBe4 has received consistently positive feedback on our cultural surveys - which are run by third-party organizations and impossible to tamper with. We are proud to have received the awards we have received, but for us, maintaining the positive culture behind those awards is what is really important.

Pros

Super supportive environment Lots of information to learn, and KnowBe4 believes you should always be learning! Willing mentors Fun atmosphere KnowBe4 finds reasons to celebrate Don't tolerate people who are jerks to each other or customers, which is awesome!

Cons

You need to be willing to continue to learn - that's one of KnowBe4 things, you need to grow as a person and an employee, if you aren't willing to do that, this isn't the place for you.
