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
