Pluspunten

The awesome feeling you get when you resign and claim your life back.

Minpunten

Let’s start with a simple truth: KnowBe4 is a cult. The Church of Scientology is pervasive in every single aspect of the organization. They will tell you that religion plays no part in the company and that their policies clearly state that religion and politics are not to be discussed at work. However, they simply hide behind this statement perfectly knowing that the entire organization is built upon Scientology beliefs and practices. Forget about work-life balance. Forget about privacy and decency. Forget about being treated like an actual sentient human being. Also, you should forget all the positive reviews you read and the “We won best place to work” propaganda. HR is constantly pushing new hires to submit positive reviews. Most feel obliged to or simply have not been in the company long enough to actually understand how diabolical this organization is. And remember, that’s ultimately what a cult does. A cult would not exist without faithful (and most of the time clueless and easy to manipulate) followers. If you’re up for being brainwashed, losing your dignity and self-respect and ultimately selling your soul, KnowBe4 is the perfect place for you.

KnowBe4’s leadership team truly believes that religion and politics have no role in the workplace, as discussions over these topics only lead to unresolvable arguments. That is why KnowBe4 has a “no religion and no politics” policy. Violations of this policy are handled the same as violations of any other company policy and we encourage employees to report violations using the normal channels. We also encourage employees of all levels of our organization to leave reviews on Glassdoor. Asking everyone to do this (regardless of how long they have been at KnowBe4) gives us and our candidates the best picture of our workplace culture. Because our company has grown so fast, we have more employees who have only worked at KnowBe4 for 3 years or less than we have employees who have been here for longer, but anyone on Glassdoor can see that we also have reviews from employees that have been with KnowBe4 for 7+ years. No workplace is perfect for 100% of potential employees, so we encourage everyone to look at all of the reviews on Glassdoor - older, newer, 1-star, 5-star, and more - and take all of that information into account when deciding to work at KnowBe4. Our goal is to be transparent, open, and honest with who we are as an organization. So thank you for taking the time to leave your opinions for candidates.

Pluspunten

The product has some strong aspects, but it’s ultimately outdated, and customers are already planning to replace us at their next renewal.

Minpunten

The new CEO has been very difficult to work under. There’s a lack of structure and clear vision, and he hasn’t been able to inspire the team. Instead, the focus has shifted to constant pressure to perform, which often feels excessive. My manager is worried about job security, and that stress trickles down to the rest of us. I have been shouted at and more. HR won't do nothing. Turnover has been extremely high—people are leaving left and right. Someone I spoke with last week is already gone, and several more are expected to leave soon. Many of the new hires seem to have prior connections with the CEO or other managers, and it’s obvious who’s in the inner circle. Customer complaints are increasing, making it hard to stay motivated. Competitors are ahead, and we’re often asking customers to wait for features that take a long time to deliver—and don’t always work as expected. Instead of focusing on fixing issues, the company seems more focused on letting people go. This is a very toxic place.
