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.

Pros

Working at KnowBe4 has honestly been one of the best professional experiences I’ve ever had. From day one, the leadership has stood out as supportive, approachable, and committed to creating a positive environment where employees can thrive. It’s rare to find a company where leadership not only talks about culture but actively invests in making it a reality. The work itself is engaging and genuinely fun. I actually look forward to coming into the office, which is something I never thought I’d say after coming from a previously toxic workplace. Here, when they say “have fun doing your job,” they truly mean it and they back it up with a culture that encourages collaboration, creativity, and balance. One of the things I appreciate most is the opportunity for growth. There are so many ways to learn, develop new skills, and explore different paths within the company. It really feels like a place where you can build a long-term career rather than just hold a job. Most importantly, I feel proud of the work I do and grateful to be part of such a supportive, driven team. The people here make a huge difference, and it feels like everyone wants to see each other succeed.

Cons

I have none, my experience at KnowBe4 has been overwhelmingly positive.

Pros

Good coworkers. Work-life balance is essential, even outright encouraged by management. Lively culture. Unlimited PTO. And I mean actually unlimited; as long as you get your work done on-time, they don’t care how much PTO you take, within reason. Truly, it’s the best PTO policy I’ve ever had at a company.

Cons

No more CoLA. No more monthly bonuses. Not a salesperson, but I do know the compensation has been significantly reduced. Just last year, FIVE enterprise sales reps staged a walkout and never came back. Raises are also paltry compared to what they used to be. Base pay is significantly below market average, and the company can no longer use their now-gutted bonus system as an excuse anymore. Pay your employees what they deserve. It’s inexcusable. Clearwater office is being neglected. Don’t be surprised if they sell the building and move the HQ to elsewhere in the Tampa Bay Area. Not a huge deal by itself, but I know it would end up being a big inconvenience to some people.
