Pros

This has been the best job I have ever had. I can honestly say I never dread going into work. The company is very transparent and allows everyone to give their own perspective. I really feel like my opinion counts. Workiva really fosters a close environment and my coworkers have begun to feel like my second family. The perks are unlike any company I know-game room, massages during busy season, catered meals and free snacks!

Cons

Sometimes can be difficult to be in an office other than Ames, IA. It feels like positions/opportunities are more available there...

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
