Pros

I changed my professional trajectory to come work for Workiva (formerly WebFilings), and the risk has paid off. There is a culture here that genuinely values the perspective of every employee, regardless of title, which is something very difficult to retain as a company grows as fast as Workiva has. The ability to work from home when necessary allows me to balance my home and work responsibilities evenly, and the office culture is welcoming to the point that I consider many of my colleagues as friends. The benefits are good, for private industry, and the perks at the office are fantastic—free coffee and snacks, game room, beautiful facility, and restaurant quality food in the cafeteria. Overall, this has been one of the best work experiences of my career!

Cons

Sometimes the air conditioning is too cold.

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
