Pros

The interview process itself was pretty straightforward with the last round being more of a formality for me to ask any and all questions to clear up the role which was a breath of fresh-air compared to constant bombardment of questions with other companies. The recruiter themselves were wonderful by getting higher compensation than originally advertised. Onboarding has been very generous with time which is nice since I haven't had much rest between companies. I love how supportive everyone has been so far during this time. Speaking with everyone so far on my team, I can see lots of people who have been in Workiva a long time which speaks volume to the culture and work/life balance that can be seen here. I've spoken even with other Workivans who have been in different functions which is a testament to how Workiva fosters personal growth. It seems that they make sure that you find your perfect fit here which is amazing. I am looking forward to the rest of my career here as a Workivan and to work where I work best!

Cons

I have no cons that I can think of at this time.

Pros

Helpful as a parent. Understanding. Compensates close to average or a bit lower. The job is relatively low stress.

Cons

Compensation isn't amazing. Promotions are difficult to process. Leadership changes way too rapidly.

Pros

- The people here are generally friendly and collaborative - Company policies are mostly employee-friendly, although it’s worth noting that the culture is shifting. It’s moving from great work-life balance to a more aggressive, profit-driven approach. - There are training and conference budgets

Cons

- Many senior leaders have stayed in the same roles for years. While they talk about change, it’s hard to expect real transformation from people who have grown too comfortable. The result? Insecurity, politics, risk aversion, and a lack of real ownership. Instead of leading by example, they set unrealistic expectations without putting enough skin in the game themselves. - Favoritism is alive and well here, especially towards long-timers. It’s been called out repeatedly in internal surveys but somehow always gets brushed under the rug. - This is not a place for independent thinkers or people who genuinely want to make things better. - There’s a noticeable divide between the “old guard” and newcomers. New hires often feel like they’re just brought in to do the dirty work without much real support. It’s no surprise most leave within 1-3 years, they simply don’t feel like they belong. - Compensation (benefits, bonuses, and stock) falls short compared to other tech companies. - Worse yet, the way they handle exits is disappointing. There’s no decent severance package, and instead, people are often nudged out by making their work-life unbearable, just to avoid paying them properly.
