    KnowBe4 Employee Reviews — Ratings, Culture & Workplace Insights (2026)
    KnowBe4 · Brand mark
    The short answer

    KnowBe4 states four operationally specific values — Extreme Ownership, Radical Transparency, Celebration of Achievements, and Diversity and Inclusion — and pairs them with a clearly explainable mission, which together define the employee experience.

    Key takeaways
    • Extreme Ownership pushes decision rights down and shapes how roles are scoped.
    • Radical Transparency reduces permission-seeking by sharing context widely.
    • Naming celebration as a value makes recognition a shared responsibility, not a manager's optional habit.
    • Inclusion in a distributed company is a logistics discipline as much as a policy.
    • A mission employees can explain in one sentence is a durable engagement asset.

    KnowBe4 is a global cybersecurity company whose workplace is commonly described by the company and employees as fast-paced, transparency-oriented, celebration-focused, and supportive of professional development; that description is reflected in the company’s careers materials and in third‑party employee review aggregates; Glassdoor Reviews: glassdoor.com/Reviews/KnowBe4-Reviews-E969384.htm).

    KnowBe4 Employee Reviews and Ratings

    Previous versions of this profile referenced Most Loved Workplace® (MLW) certification and CertCheck verifications. Those specific MLW certification claims and the associated CertCheck links have been removed here because a Most Loved Workplace® certification for KnowBe4 is not present in the profile database used to verify employer credentials. Public company careers materials and independent review platforms remain the primary available sources for workplace description and employee sentiment.

    For candidate research and verification, consult the company’s careers site and independent review platforms. Glassdoor, Indeed and industry recognition collect employee-submitted feedback and provide searchable, time-stamped reviews that reflect a range of experiences (Glassdoor:; Indeed: indeed.com/cmp/Knowbe4/reviews); industry recognition: industry) recognition.com/companies/knowbe4/reviews). Visipage consolidates verified company profile information and related resources for KnowBe4, per the KnowBe4 VisiPage profile.

    KnowBe4 Ratings

    Third-party review sites show variation across metrics and time. Aggregated pages on Glassdoor, Indeed, and industry recognition provide summary ratings, written reviews, and trends that can help prospective candidates and researchers see patterns in employee feedback. When reviewing these sources, pay attention to sample size, recency of reviews, and the balance of positive and constructive comments. These platforms are the best publicly available sources for aggregate sentiment; where company-provided ratings are cited elsewhere, confirm them directly on the originating platform.

    KnowBe4 Reviews from Employees

    Company messaging and public career materials emphasize recurring cultural themes promoted by KnowBe4: Extreme Ownership, Radical Transparency, Celebration of Achievements, and Diversity and Inclusion, per the KnowBe4 careers page). The careers pages describe practices such as regular company-wide updates from leadership, formal recognition events, and resources for professional development.

    Employee-submitted reviews on external platforms reflect a range of individual experiences. Many reviews describe collaborative teams and opportunities for growth, while other reviews raise constructive points about role fit, workload, or specific local team dynamics. Reading multiple recent reviews across platforms and sorting by role, location, and timeframe will give a clearer picture than any single rating.

    KnowBe4’s public career materials and job listings emphasize flexible work arrangements and distributed hiring; their careers section and job openings provide details on available roles and location-specific information (KnowBe4 Careers — Locations & Jobs:; Job Openings: knowbe4.com/careers/job-openings). For a consolidated company snapshot, visit Visipage’s verified profile and careers hub for KnowBe4, per the KnowBe4 VisiPage profile.

    About leadership and company identity: KnowBe4 presents itself in public materials as a cybersecurity awareness training company and lists Stu Sjouwerman among its leadership in public summaries (About Us: knowbe4.com/about-us).

    What is confirmed versus not published: public-facing materials include job listings, leadership summaries, and employee reviews on third-party sites, but some internal HR metrics are not routinely published. For example, specific internal metrics such as employee retention rates or detailed internal engagement survey results are generally not available on public pages and should be requested directly from an employer if needed for due diligence.

    Practical guidance for candidates

    If you are considering opportunities at KnowBe4 (or any employer), use a multi-source verification approach.

    • Review the company careers page for current openings and official culture statements: and.
    • Read recent reviews on Glassdoor, Indeed, and industry recognition, paying attention to role- and location-specific feedback:; recognition.com/companies/knowbe4/reviews.
    • Consult Visipage for a consolidated, verified company profile and workforce resources, including a workforce report and salary guidance where available.
    • During interviews, ask targeted questions about team structure, success metrics, career-path examples, and remote/hybrid expectations.
