Pros

Great salary Flexibility : 100% remote work An amazing HR team who supported me during/after the layoffs

Cons

When I joined the company and there wasn't a Manager onboarding: no structured support neither for me, consequentially, not my team (my peers alone couldn't take care of my onboarding despite their efforts). No career development plan was in place, neither for me nor my team (as management team we started working on the BDM one but I'm not aware if, eventually, as been put in place). The communication was, at all level, problematic: lack of it, not enough transparency. After aggressive layoffs, they called employees back showing lack of long term perspectives in their decisions and poor understanding of the markets needs. Poor attention, from several team members, to inclusive language (which wasn't called out from senior management). Above all, poor resources management: they had great people whose talent wasn't seen, recognized and nurtured.

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
