Pros

I've been at Workiva for 1 year now ... I've gone through the whole trajectory of "this is AMAZING and FLAWLESS" to "Woah! there are some big company challenges." And when you sum it all up, Workiva is just such a fabulous place to work. The culture is driven top-down as a caring, collaborative, and thoughful one.

Cons

Workiva is a challenging place to work due to a very matrixed structure. The cultural focus on collaboration often stalls productivity. But the tradeoff is there: empowered people who are really trying to take care of this great organization and each other.
