Pros

Workiva is amazing! The opportunities, the culture, the people - you name it. Never have I worked in an organization where I feel as valued, respected and integral as I do here. My ideas are considered; I see the input I give affecting change. Collaboration is a way of life here, not just a buzz word. The customers - internal or external - are what drives the organization. The benefits are incredible - very affordable and extremely comprehensive. The options provided allow my family and I the ability to choose our healthcare providers, not be locked into a limited group. 401k administration, time off, holidays, options, new technology... the list goes on and on! As part of the Workiva team, I get to experience career satisfaction was well as fulfilling my roles outside the office. The balance is unmatched!

Cons

New company, growing pains. No more so than any other extremely successful start-up. Wouldn't consider it a con as much as a part of the package.

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
