      Great Product, Poor Leadership

      Pros

      Workiva has a great product that is easy to get behind and evangelize. I truly believe our product helps improve our user's lives.

      Cons

      Tyrannical leadership over the past two years. The company preaches how important it is to be your authentic self while at work, but they only care about the well being of the employees that believe the same way leadership does about DE&I issues, Covid, and other social issues. This is specifically true when it comes to covid, as they don't believe their employees should be free on what they inject (or don't inject) into their bodies. "Be your authentic self at work" has slowly been replaced by "Shut up and fall in line".

      Truly an incredible place, sad to be leaving!

      Pros

      People: Nearly every person I interacted with at Workiva is truly a gem. By this I mean they are kind to each other, not emotionally abusive, set expectations well, and generally are funny, open minded and clever. Culture: Workiva is one of those rare places that is actually as good to work for as people say. The people are great, there is a strong sense of emotional safety, nearly everyone is kind and open minded. The CEO is actually wonderful, and his easy going, but motivated culture really does trickle down. The boys culture that seemed to kind of exist a few years ago is mostly gone also, which I love! I think Workiva has a great outlook. Pay: The pay is on par for the cities the offices are located in. If you want to live in a bigger or HCOL city, you will probably need more pay. There is a bonus of about a month of pay each year, if I remember correctly. Benefits: 401k with no match. Commuter benefits in some cities. Mountain Side Fitness discount. Healthcare is pretty good and you don't have to pay anything monthly for it, HSA/FSA. Vision and dental at no cost to you. Most standard stuff, besides the 401k not being matched Work/Life Balance: This is my favorite aprt of WK, at least in my role there is a great work life balance. When I was hired my manager specifically pointed out that while WK is KINDA like a family, it's not your family, your family is. He highlighted that actual outside of work life always comes first, and the CEO really echos this. Luckily, they mean what they say and I almost never had overtime work, or after-hours calls /on-calls to worry about. Perks: You don't have to travel too much, there is legit work from home available, the offices are nice and have pretty good snacks and all that stuff for free Management: SO dorky to say, but a lot of the management is good here I interned here and worked here full time after having a different job in between. I've worked about 5 other places in my life and this is hands down the best. I'm really only leaving because I am moving to a HCOL city and need more pay. I would recommend Workiva to others.

      Cons

      - 401k match needs to happen! It's one of the things that sets WK apart negatively from other companies, which now have may of the same perks. - Pay is based on city of hire, if you want to move you can but you aren't eligible for a pay change, this usually isn't an issue though because pay here is generally competitive in MOST cities - No unlimited PTO, not really a gripe of mine, because a lot of people say no one uses their unlimited PTO, but I do wish employees under 2 years got a little more PTO - For Customer Success people I think there is an intense time around filing season, but I don't have a lot of info on this. - Medium amount of upward/any mobility. I think they're working on this with a new Workday feature, and goals, but it seems the ladder to climb is somewhat short at Workiva, though they are clear about what people are assessed on to get to the next level.

      Pros

      Great benefits, remote friendly, nice offices,

      Cons

      Executive management selling stock. No 401k match. Focus is more on beating the street than helping customers. No clear career paths. Some departments are far from “best in class”.
