Pros

This company is incredible. I started at Workiva straight out of college and I could not imagine life at another company. Not only have I been able to grow as a professional, I have also learned an incredible amount about business, our industry and how our software is making a difference. Our culture is one of a software company that is growing and making changes in the industry. We have healthy snacks, free coffee and soda, a game room, free health care and offices in three countries. In addition to all these incredible perks, we also foster a culture of creative freedom. We work hard, but it's because we want to. Anyone at this company is driven to continue the growth and innovation that we have already fostered. We grow as a company through the creativity of our employees and through the ideas of the people we work with day in and day out. The people that we work with side by side are not only our co-workers but friends that we trust and enjoy spending time with. Workiva employees are always up to try new things inside and outside the work place.

Cons

In the area that I work in, you have a huge support group, but you have to be able to manage your own time and work. Being such a flat organization, you have to remember that even if your title doesn't change, your responsibilities, project loads and work do change and people recognize that.

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
