Pros

This is my first job out of college, and I have been told countless times by working adults older than me to never leave! I interned here for three months and then came on full time about a year and a half ago. I have always been overwhelmed with the idea of working 40 hours a week in a corporate setting, but Workiva has encompassed an excellent and efficient work-life balance setting. The company's culture encourages me to work harder and have more enthusiasm for my work and the company. I have fun everyday, and literally look forward to coming to work. Even as an intern, I was expected to do the quality of work as if I were a full-time employee, and that carried over to when I was brought on full time. My management team respects my work and my team. I am able to have a say in company-wide initiatives, and work with teams from all levels and areas of the company on a wide range of projects. Workiva has given me the growth in my professional life that I require in a first job, and will continue to provide me the growth I will need going forward.

Cons

There is a couple teams who don't work well with other teams, and that can get in the way of a successful completion of a project, and can severely affect the views the company may have on those teams.

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
