Pros

Workiva offers a work environment like nothing I have ever experienced. I enjoy getting in my car and driving an hour knowing I get to walk into Workiva with a smile on my face. No two days are alike, and that is awesome. I love setting up documents and presentations in our application for customers. The application is user friendly and easy to fall in love with. The layout of our new location also allows for more interaction with all departments. We work for a unique company that is focused on the employees and customers alike. Our benefits are top notch and there are so many perks along the way. My coworkers make the day worthwhile and my managers encourage us to constantly get involved with all the products we offer. There really is no limit to what we can get involved in.

Cons

You have to be on your toes. We have a cloud based structure, and everyday there are constant improvements. Sometimes it takes some getting used to when new features are released. Change can be hard for some, but it's good to remember the change here is always for the better.

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
