Pros

WebFilings can be fun to work at if you are on the right product team. A mostly unstructured environment that allows room to fix technical problems across teams. Complete benefits package that is average for a hi-tech company outside of CA. Flexible work environment with flex time and the ability to work from home. Uses leading edge technology both for infrastructure and for products. Little to no internal politics. Good focus on the customer in product design.

Cons

Salary is mediocre to below average, not equivalent to the work load and travel expected. Some teams are high stress with long hours without realistic goal setting from project managers. Could benefit from managers who know how to work with people. No product training for new developers. Confusing HR processes, although HR staff themselves are very friendly. Confusing reporting structure.

Pros

Remote work and flexibility Size of company is great - not too big, not too small Great coworkers (aside from the leadership)

Cons

- Horrible psychological work environment. The senior leaders in my department were absolutely terrifying and incredibly nitpicky, rather than encouraging and supportive to their people. - Career growth is a joke at Workiva, and leaders make it clear by their actions (and at times, words) that it's not a priority. I remember sitting on a department call where my VP said, "Growth is not getting a promotion at Workiva," and the context in which she said it made it feel cold, patronizing, and disheartening. Departmental calls were often uncomfortable and totally deflating. - Extremely unrealistic and very subjective standards - No manager accountability - People constantly live in fear, but the work flexibility and "great place to work" facade keep employees stuck in a toxic loop - When they get the slightest whiff of unhappiness, they push you out. I've seen it time and time again (which then creates a toxic fear culture) - Constant gaslighting
