Workiva reviews

Where to start? I refused to sign my performance evaluation because I had proof my "leader" lied on my review in multiple categories. Their leader told me "just try harder this next year" and sign my review. That alone signaled for me to begin looking for another job. The integrity is missing from the top down. They also preach leadership, but then fail to put true leaders in those positions. In the four years I was there, I only got one salary increase. My last bonus was only stock options, to go along with the 40,000 stock options I already had and never planned on purchasing. Offsite training was encouraged, but when requested, it was always denied. Would not cover the CPE for my professional license.

Workiva was rated a Great Place to Work each year I was there, but the score fell significantly each term. The decline stemmed from engagement from management, lack of career growth, compensation issues, and what seems to be a deviation from Workiva values. In that time, several layers of senior and middle management were added, while individual contributor roles were reduced. There were frequent org. restructures and raises/bonuses vanished. In 4 years, I had no manager much longer than any manager and for awhile I reported to a contractor only working a few hours a week. I didn't need one for my day-to-day, but having no one impeded getting things done, removing obstacles, getting resources, your team having a voice in decisions, and your own professional development. ... My unit has since been disbanded and scattered across the org.
