Pros

Lots of cheerleaders, ring kissers and throne sniffers. If you like passing the buck, this is the place for you!

Cons

They say culture starts at the top. Well its probably true here. If you like to have an individual thought or autonomy, DO NOT APPLY. What used to be a culture of community and cooperation has turned into a culture of senior leadership that believes they have worked hard for long enough. The US market is saturated and they are slowly reducing by attrition to grow in Europe and Asia. Eventually, the same will happen in those markets.

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
