Vantaggi

- Solid market leading product - Remote work is a plus - Most individual level contributors are smart and supportive

Svantaggi

- Micromanagement is out of control. Leaders feel the need to be in every little thing, which makes people feel constantly undermined instead of trusted. - Way too many meetings. It’s normal to lose two+ full days a week just sitting in internal calls, which leaves no time to actually get work done. - “Alignment” is the excuse for everything. It sounds nice, but it really just means no one takes ownership, and projects get watered down. - Key decisions come from the same small group of long-tenured middle and upper-level managers. As others have said, tenure matters more than expertise. - Leaders don’t like being challenged. Even if you bring data or best practices, if it doesn’t match their opinion, it gets ignored. - The exec and wider leadership team has never really scaled a SaaS company, and it shows. The board isn’t much better, with limited outside perspective and tech experience. - Pay is under market value.

Vantaggi

Remote work and flexibility Size of company is great - not too big, not too small Great coworkers (aside from the leadership)

Svantaggi

- 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
