Pros

This is by far the best job Ive ever had or heard of in any financial industry. So laid back, no micro managing, fun work environment. I think the pay is excellent compared to working at a large financial institution. I take home almost twice the salary that I used to. The companies growing and dominating the market place. Only gets better and better. You have so much fun in the office sometimes u dont want to go home.....kind of like recess at times i guess you could say.

Cons

Tedious interview process (works very well though). ....And the toaster has been broken once.

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
