Remote Work Pretty Flexible Nice Bonus & Standard CLI Raise

Svantaggi

HUGE Micromanagement Problem Unattainable KPI Dismissive & Rude senior leadership "Scare" you to do better This company lured in many with promises of remote work and rewarding customer engagement. In all honesty, dealing with the management and end users has been a nightmare. A new management team came in and made unreasonable KPIs telling employees if we didn't like them then "maybe it's time to look elsewhere" Who says that to employees who took care of everything while managers took off for weeks during the holidays. The job itself is not hard at all, management makes it 10X harder by adding metrics, workforce management, user satisfaction requirements, and data data data as a daily priority. Constantly told that anything we do is messing up data and that is why we cannot hire more people to support the team. MICRO MANAGEMENT - If you are looking for a job where someone is looking over you 24/7 then this is the spot. I have never been to a company where reviewing how someone "handled" an interaction took so much time and energy away from other tasks. 30-day training to be brought on board fully only for 20 days of the training to be useless for the actual job. Watched videos and articles on how to use the product only for none of that to matter when the customer base is used to instant and unreasonably quick support. If you are in IT and looking to take this job I would probably go somewhere else.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Investing in our people is a top priority, which is why we continue to provide annual salary increases and bonuses for employees and a “work where you work best” approach to workplace flexibility. We’re grateful that those factors have been positive for you. As our company grows and evolves, we recognize that employees feel the changes and for many, it’s difficult (and often frustrating) to navigate. We’re sorry to hear this has been your experience. The examples you provided have been very helpful and we will share your feedback with the leadership team.

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
