Pros

Great work life balance Company hires high quality people Great benfits

Cons

Cliquey - if you don’t build a network, you’re done. High turnover - I was onboarded with approximately 20 people. Under 5 were left after 2 years. Leadership can’t pick a lane - are we focusing on ESG and CSRD or sticking to bread and butter of financial reporting? This leads to leadership turnover which leads to employee turnover. Lack of clarify in alignment - in two years I was aligned to three different 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
