Pros

- Great people. - Due to the open format of chat channels, it is typically simple to get assistance from more seasoned members of the company. - Company perks are nice - Diversity-friendly - CEO is great, company all-hands are entertaining to watch.

Cons

- Dealing with the workforce management system is tiresome. A lot of people have complained, management just doubles down. - Although the Support team was given opportunity to hone their talents in specific areas of our product, that didn't really happen. For many, this means that even if they are formally part of a smaller team, they are essentially still responsible for supporting the full product line. No chances for them to specialize past surface level knowledge.

Not as great as people think

Pros

The benefits package is great.

Cons

The company has reorganized a few times over the last year. Workiva is management heavy. Departments can have 1 - 2 employees reporting to a manager. Management is also notorious for saying one thing then doing the opposite. You have to watch your back because managers will play favorites and complainers are rewarded. Workiva also boasts higher pay but raises are almost nonexistent and bonuses, if given, are not really worth much. The culture is also reminds me of a forced utopia. Just be cautious because the company really does not value employees as much as they claim to.

Pros

Remote work Great offices Competitive pay salary wise Money to invest in tech

Cons

-Bonuses are not defined. It's a bucket of cash and districted solely on manager discretion -Equity is bottom of the barrel. We lose people all the time to places that pay more in equity to ICs than Workiva offers for VPs -Politics - it's all around. If you're not on the same train, You're not in the "club" -Too much faith in ESG. Companies need to get back to profit and are aware. The teams built around ESG were a good idea when it was thought to be an unstoppable initiative, but as markets have shown, it's just sort of in the background for the most part. Even the most recent SEC ruling won't drive demand the way Workiva expects. -Promotions are not given as deserved. Or even as promised. Requirements for promotions change all the time and there is no formal process dept to dept. If you get put on a long term project, or are on leaves your progress towards a promotion is absolutely stalled (which is illegal when your on LOA for certain cases) and I've seen instances where end of year performance and rating is affected.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. We’re glad that the investments we make in remote work, our offices, salary plans and technology do not go unnoticed! We are always working on ways we can be better, which includes continually re-evaluating our compensation programs and business priorities to make sure we’re evolving as the company (and world around us) evolves. Your feedback is appreciated and we will escalate the concerns you shared to our senior leadership team.
