Pros

Flexible schedule, lots of kool-aid to drink, very nice office building,. If you're on the right team with a hot product that has significant growth - you'll be promoted - regardless of your contribution (and the same holds true if you're on the opposite of things - mature product / slow growth product means that you'll get reorged - regardless of contribution/value)

Cons

Constant reorgs as Workiva lacks strategy and planning (it's beyond start up company type reorgs) when then leads to lack of ability to understand your role. If you try to mitigate this by taking proactive steps to define your role and add value, you will be 'encouraged' - but not supported and provided true support (rather you'll get negative feedback as you're straying from the herd) Over promise to customers (all teams, not only sales) driving the inability to deliver Lacks ability to allow you to drive career growth/development as it's foundation is more similar to a socialist environment Lacks any type of diversity for any type of minority, especially women which then translates for minimal career movement / growth for those people

Pros

Many amenities in office — free snacks and drinks, special events, and relation areas. Great technology and flexibility to use preferred tools. Flexible working hours.

Cons

R&D is mostly male. Very, very few women in Engineering. Only a handful of women in R&D management positions (primarily from groups outside Engineering). Difficult to build relationships if you’re not “one of the guys.” Few men in leadership perceive this challenge.
