Pros

Great culture. Everyone is given a lot of responsibility and the work doesn't feel mindless. Everyone is also offered lots of personal freedom. PTO is rarely rejected, even on very short notice. One's own life is given more priority.

Cons

Lacking some of the benefits a bigger company could offer. This is often made up for by yearly bonuses and employee stock options. There are of course lots of small quirks with the company, but ultimately the pros far outweigh the cons

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
