Pros

SUPER laid back company! Atmosphere is fantastic and everyone treats each other as family. Filing Season perks are amazing! Free food during filing season (catered, I may add) as well as free massages on Tuesdays/Thursdays! Headquarters location has a culinary chef that they hired from Las Vegas and cooks amazing meals every day. The job is fantastic! Great way to network with Fortune 500 companies while gaining experience in the Financial/Accounting world without having to do Financial/Accounting work

Cons

Pay is a little down to start with; would like to see an increase in initial salary. Communication can be lax; while upper management pushes for one source of communication, some departments could careless which makes it hard to communicate between departments.

Pros

Have not met one person here who isn't willing to help when and where they can. You never hear, "That's not part of my job" or "I have no idea what you're talking about." Employees here take the time to help you find the people and answers you need to get your job done. There are conscious efforts to make the remote offices feel like they are a part of the "mothership" in Ames. At times there are snafus with meeting times or delays in getting swag, but nothing too critical. The work/life balance is perfect. The company sponsors many work-hours events and employees are encouraged to partake. It is nice to work somewhere where you're encouraged to build relationships outside of your functional teams on company time. "Human Resources" exists by way of an employee-driven community which has produced some of our greatest ways to continue growing the corporate culture into a fun, yet productive environment.

Cons

There are conscious efforts to improve it underway, but the on-boarding process is a little frustrating, especially for remote offices. Between IT issues and delivery times, we find ourselves in Scottsdale waiting an extra day or two for either a new computer or login info for a new employee. We have grown very quickly, very fast so this is the likely culprit.

Pros

This is my first job out of college, and I have been told countless times by working adults older than me to never leave! I interned here for three months and then came on full time about a year and a half ago. I have always been overwhelmed with the idea of working 40 hours a week in a corporate setting, but Workiva has encompassed an excellent and efficient work-life balance setting. The company's culture encourages me to work harder and have more enthusiasm for my work and the company. I have fun everyday, and literally look forward to coming to work. Even as an intern, I was expected to do the quality of work as if I were a full-time employee, and that carried over to when I was brought on full time. My management team respects my work and my team. I am able to have a say in company-wide initiatives, and work with teams from all levels and areas of the company on a wide range of projects. Workiva has given me the growth in my professional life that I require in a first job, and will continue to provide me the growth I will need going forward.

Cons

There is a couple teams who don't work well with other teams, and that can get in the way of a successful completion of a project, and can severely affect the views the company may have on those teams.
