Pros

- Lots of great people, good level of collaboration, I met some co-workers I will value for life - Good product, customers love it - I learnt so much, true global experience depending on your role, interesting project work and you will get thrown into lots of different scenarios - Flexibility and PTO are great

Cons

- Environment changed a lot during my time there, the culture is a bit lost at the moment - Pressure from c-suite trickles down to employees, too much onus on individuals to 'evolve' and solve problems which are systemic

Pros

Remote work and flexibility Size of company is great - not too big, not too small Great coworkers (aside from the leadership)

Cons

- Horrible psychological work environment. The senior leaders in my department were absolutely terrifying and incredibly nitpicky, rather than encouraging and supportive to their people. - Career growth is a joke at Workiva, and leaders make it clear by their actions (and at times, words) that it's not a priority. I remember sitting on a department call where my VP said, "Growth is not getting a promotion at Workiva," and the context in which she said it made it feel cold, patronizing, and disheartening. Departmental calls were often uncomfortable and totally deflating. - Extremely unrealistic and very subjective standards - No manager accountability - People constantly live in fear, but the work flexibility and "great place to work" facade keep employees stuck in a toxic loop - When they get the slightest whiff of unhappiness, they push you out. I've seen it time and time again (which then creates a toxic fear culture) - Constant gaslighting
