Pros

Being able to work remotely and on your on schedule is great. They focus a lot of work-life balance and everyone is willing to help out.

Cons

The salary structure is ridiculous - they don't pay by state and instead just pay the same salary across all states despite cost of living differences. Management won't do anything to help you get a raise, nor do they care if you bring up your concerns. Additionally they don't differentiate on your performance level, it doesn't matter how well you do, you still get stuck making the same as the person with the same years of experience as you. The insurance benefits are great but bonuses are very low for consulting/tech. They offer 0 sick days and had the audacity to claim they would have to take away PTO to offer sick days. It's almost impossible to move up in this position as well, and management has clear favorites. They may be currently on the great places to work list, but this won't last long.

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
