      Pros

      1) Laid-back environment 2) Flexible work hours

      Cons

      1) The company is a good-ole boy network. 2) Women are rarely hired into technical roles. When they are, they have to outperform just to be noticed, but are never rewarded. 2) The company tries to promote itself as supportive of female tech workers, but look closely at the photographs in the articles. They send the same (~6) women to all industry events, because that's all they have. 3) If you're somebody's sister, that's an exception. Nepotism reigns. 4) Pay is well below industry average. 5) No 401-K contribution matching.

      We are very fortunate to have a group of female engineers that are very active in promoting Workiva at networking events and conferences. We recognize that there is always room for improvement with gender diversity, especially in tech. This group of women have chosen to help us address this challenge. If you would like to help make a positive impact, please reach out to us at talentacquisition@workiva.com and we would be very open to your suggestions.

      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
