      Favoritism and discrimination overshadow any advancement opportunities

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Easy to climb the ladder if you're a leadership favorite. - If you're a cis white fe/male you'll be able to promote. - People try to act nice.

      Cons

      - DEI removed and no longer practiced. Documented cases of discrimination leading to termination. No plans to address. - People leadrship doubles down on ignorant leadership. - Tons of things done to seem like they're checking a box or have a defense against litigation. - PTO removed for FTO to clear balances for investors. - Stock constantly going down due to chaotic leadership unclear of what to do. - Favoritism puts up blinders and people hindering the culture are praised and rewarded. - Pay for performance culture but given all the issues stated (and wait, there's more!) tends to not apply. Also the pay is low, they only target the 50th percentile. - High performers are more like high whiners. - Pushing AI so heavily, tracking token usage and tying that to outcomes biasedly. - Lack of proper data collection & analysis. - People run off vibes and guesses rather than actual analysis.

      Growth opportunity hampered by toxic middle management - be careful.

      Enterprise sales representative

      Pros

      Great place for growth when on the right team. Solid solution that is well respected in the F&A space that encompasses SEC Reporting, GRC, ESG and other custom complex reporting areas.

      Cons

      Toxic middle management interested more in survival than the greater good for Workiva or the teams under them. Workiva has become more interested in the $1B Annual Revenue marker than the wonderful culture which used to be in place there. A quarter or two of poor numbers will result in a quick cut to the throat.

      All great things come to an end

      Pros

      A few years ago it was way, way, way better.

      Cons

      Seems the new exec leadership is gutting employees who have given their zesty green blood to Workiva. Your voice is no longer heard.
