Pros

Great work environment, laid back,

Cons

I have been here for almost 3 years, and I strongly feel like management has pushed employees to the point where they are not satisfied with their position as they feel they are taken advantage of. It seems like negativity is all that is focused upon, and management looks at you as just a number. It's a shame that WebFiling's has become much more corporate in their ways. It used to be encouraged to voice your opinion because WebFiling's management had your back. Now its just the opposite, I'm scared to voice my opinion as it could compromise my job with WebFilings. The only opinions valued are WebFiling's Customers.

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
