Pros

Pay check, health benefits, remote work

Cons

No career path, inexperienced, incompetent managers historically, and promoted by long time managers through crony favouritism network. Fake toxic positivity environment. Low pay, not recognised on performance, managers still bypass the ‘new’ feedback system. How bad is it if you have to mandate a system to stop all the bias. No career progression for most roles. Only select managers, in some teams get promotions to their teams who no how to play the game at Workiva. Callous managers mock team members inquiring on professional development and career development. Extremely toxic managers in client services especially the long term and previous senior management who moved around. Toxic management groups and cliques through their own lack of abilities, and issues targeting individuals over years. How terrible does management has to be to group together to do this over years, with nothing better to do. HR has no backbone and is in the management pocket. Supports anything management says and faking metrics and achievements. Senior leaders won’t lead, don’t deal with problems and pretend everything is fine. Ignore bad behaviour and grievances and retaliate. No diversity across all types especially in management. intolerance, conscious and unconscious biases on display in rank and file and management, and isolation and targeting. Cliques of employees and management everywhere.

We agree–Workiva is a great place to work! There are many opportunities for growth inside the company, and there are a few things you can do to make changing positions easier. First, make sure your profile in Workday is updated. Second, check out the job openings in Workday (and on our careers site) as new positions are posted all the time. Third, it’s important that your manager and People Business Partner are aware of your career aspirations–they can be on the lookout and help facilitate conversations with recruiters and hiring managers. And lastly, network with fellow Workivians! Thanks for being here!

We are always enhancing our benefits offerings so if there’s something we’re missing, please include your ideas in the upcoming survey. Our leadership team (and benefits team) will see your response.
