Pros

Growing company, decent opportunities if your willing to give up everything.

Cons

Scottsdale management has a very skewed idea of reality. They expect you to be SLAVES to your clients. Forget having a personal life, forget spending time with your kids, forget all of that, because when a customer wants something, you have to drop everything to help them. Whatever the customer wants the customer gets, period. Only months into working for them I called it quits because I could see how miserable my life was about to get. You will have NO life and management could care less in the Scottsdale Office! Maybe its only this location that is like this, but who knows.

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
