Pros

Workiva's product is truly the best in the business. They invest significantly in it which allows them to continue to be a market leader.

Cons

Because the product is so successful, business processes across different organizations such as product development and sales are not nearly as mature as a company this size would warrant.

Pros

The interview process itself was pretty straightforward with the last round being more of a formality for me to ask any and all questions to clear up the role which was a breath of fresh-air compared to constant bombardment of questions with other companies. The recruiter themselves were wonderful by getting higher compensation than originally advertised. Onboarding has been very generous with time which is nice since I haven't had much rest between companies. I love how supportive everyone has been so far during this time. Speaking with everyone so far on my team, I can see lots of people who have been in Workiva a long time which speaks volume to the culture and work/life balance that can be seen here. I've spoken even with other Workivans who have been in different functions which is a testament to how Workiva fosters personal growth. It seems that they make sure that you find your perfect fit here which is amazing. I am looking forward to the rest of my career here as a Workivan and to work where I work best!

Cons

I have no cons that I can think of at this time.

Pros

Helpful as a parent. Understanding. Compensates close to average or a bit lower. The job is relatively low stress.

Compensation isn't amazing. Promotions are difficult to process. Leadership changes way too rapidly.
