Pros

The product is great and has an easy value story, any idiot can sell it. Hence why the company is full of them.

Cons

The worse culture. The CEO is great and preaches positive values. It stops there. The line managers and VP's are where the chain is broken. Yelling sprees, bully culture. Everyone for themselves and colleagues are quick to dump you under the bus because of their own mistakes. This is your typical good ol boys club and if you don't give the impression you're one of them be careful. Doesn't matter what your performance.

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
