KnowBe4 reviews

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.

Hello, and thank you for your feedback. We have opened up many positions for permanent remote work and hybrid work since COVID has started. As for raises, all employees at KnowBe4 have received yearly raises in 3 of the last 4 years. Additionally, we love internal promotions and promote from within as often as we can, which usually comes with a pay raise. For our sales reps, the earnings potential is huge! Historically, over 60% of our SMB reps have made over $100,000 in a year; in fact, our top SMB rep made over $160,000 and our top enterprise rep made over $500,000. The base pay is where it is so that we can have one of the most lucrative commissions plans in the industry. That’s why an SMB sales rep can earn more than $25k in commissions in a single month of sales! Additionally, we have the monthly bonus plan after the first 90 days of employment, where each employee can earn between $0 and $2,000 per month based on company-wide sales. We started this in 2015. Since then, the lowest it has been is $7,500 per person in a year and the highest it has been is $17,800 per person in a year. This huge earnings potential is driven by the fact that KnowBe4 has mastered the process for selling security awareness training to IT professionals. Our processes have been tested time and time again, and have consistently shown amazing results. We also have in-house sales performance coaches to help all our sales reps continue to improve and not just meet quota, but shatter it! We truly understand that sales can be a high-pressure career field so we want to make sure that we are supporting our hard-working sales reps in every way possible, to make the job as seamless and stress-free as possible. As a current employee, we want to make sure that you are as happy as possible in your position. We suggest that you set up a time to speak with Employee Relations, your manager, your performance coach, the in-house career coach, or the in-house life coach to talk about how we can work together to make you a happy and engaged Knowster.
