Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you value our “work where you work best” approach to workplace flexibility and our commitment to remote work. In fact, more than half of our global workforce has fully remote jobs! We are also committed to providing compensation and benefits programs that meet the different and evolving needs of our employees. In the last few years, we introduced several new or enhanced benefits, including geographic mobility, birthday time off, extra volunteer time off, extended volunteer programs, global ESPP, quarterly well-being days, financial support for adoption and surrogacy, and a paid return to work transition following parental leave–just to name a few. Our People Business Partners or Benefits team members are always happy to meet with you to explore how our benefits can best support you and your family.

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
