Pros

Pay is nice. If you ever get a bonus that is. Remote work.

Cons

Micromanagement extraordinaire. Bonus structure magically changes every quarter and targets are never met. Management is full of toxicity (good ol' boys network) The solution itself isn't very good. They push this innovative solution and a happy work/life balance but its a sham. The product sucks and the job of the SA is basically to take crappy data from multiple sources and place it into a "single source of truth" which is clunky, antiquated, and does less than google sheets. Do yourself a favor and stay away from the glitter they throw at you and look at one of the big 4 instead. You'll get paid more, and treated better.

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
