Great product, poor middle management, and no female representation

Pros

- Awesome people - Cool office culture - Product made from the ground up that you have direct impact on - Opportunities to get in front of senior management within Workiva and at other companies depending on role

Cons

- Terrible middle level management, no requirements for promotions - if you are in the "boys club" and have a lot of friends within the company you can become a manager. - No female representation, especially in some of the newer teams that are still mostly managed by men, no one steps in or notices sexism because there aren't many females in senior management. - Middle managers have no idea how to manage or mentor their teams and directors only care about how much money is being brought it since going public - direct impact to personal and professional growth. -Pay is way below national averages and varies greatly person to person depending on if you are a male/female, have friends at the company and they personally like you. -Special treatment to employees they like - performance doesn't matter in the "boys club" - Dealt with extremely unprofessional working environments at times, especially on male dominant teams and in roles that require travel

Pros

I love love love some of the people I work with, especially in my department. They help me when I am stressed to the maximum and I do the same for them.

Cons

There was a time that I loved being a Customer Success Manager at Workiva. This time has long since passed. Its a company that believes it is right to demand their workers to put in 60 hours a week, every week of the year. The MANAGING BOARD COULD CARE LESS if you get to spend time with your family or not. The only thing they care about is making sure their customers are happy and that they are making money. I've had several mental breakdowns from the stress put on my shoulders. It never used to be this way. The worst part about it is that I do not get paid overtime. I'd be making twice the $40k/year I do now. Workiva has failed me, and have failed everyone working for Workiva with similar feelings, which there are a lot.

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.
