Pros

-Strong commitment to living and upholding values. They talk the talk and walk the walk. -Endless opportunities for innovation, the company is always in continuous improvement mindset. You can make a real difference here. -Lots of flexibility and great benefits. Free insurance, competitive time off, RSU grants.

Cons

-C-suite appears to favor longer tenured employees. It can feel like you have to prove yourself repeatedly in order to be taken seriously. -No 401k match

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
