Pros

Have not met one person here who isn't willing to help when and where they can. You never hear, "That's not part of my job" or "I have no idea what you're talking about." Employees here take the time to help you find the people and answers you need to get your job done. There are conscious efforts to make the remote offices feel like they are a part of the "mothership" in Ames. At times there are snafus with meeting times or delays in getting swag, but nothing too critical. The work/life balance is perfect. The company sponsors many work-hours events and employees are encouraged to partake. It is nice to work somewhere where you're encouraged to build relationships outside of your functional teams on company time. "Human Resources" exists by way of an employee-driven community which has produced some of our greatest ways to continue growing the corporate culture into a fun, yet productive environment.

Cons

There are conscious efforts to improve it underway, but the on-boarding process is a little frustrating, especially for remote offices. Between IT issues and delivery times, we find ourselves in Scottsdale waiting an extra day or two for either a new computer or login info for a new employee. We have grown very quickly, very fast so this is the likely culprit.

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
