Pros

This company offered excellent benefits, a hybrid/remote work arrangement, a good work-life balance, and reasonable stock options. If you thrive in large team settings and enjoy achieving little, this may be the perfect fit for you.

Cons

Experiencing a lack of growth and innovation due to low pay and dying IP. Culture of middle and upper management was impulsive with repetitive apologies and no real sense of accountability, making them totally untrustworthy. Despite the company's emphasis on DEI, they prioritize hiring with deeply rooted motivation for feminism, liberalism and globalism.

Pros

PTO, paid leave, good food.

Cons

Pockets of management are good. Others are weak, combative, and toxic. Workiva was a startup going through the growing pains of becoming a public company. The company is very siloed and there's lots of finger pointing with no accountability. The culture has suffered because of this hypocrisy.

Pros

There are wonderful and strong mid level managers. Some of the best I have seen or heard of in my career. Genuine, caring and supportive. Work hard and play hard, lots of great bonus meals, treats and outings. Still a little start up culture left where you can change things or propose new technology.

Cons

It's great as long as you force yourself to keep drinking the Kool-aid and not pay attention, once the illusion is shattered and you've been through about 6-9 months of hearing what leadership says but then seeing what they do not match up... you realize there are some real problems and lack of genuine honesty. You'll get the PC or popular answer to everything and they want you to see that a mid-west company can be just as good as the best tech companies but they maintain some old fashion/outdated attitudes in regards to things like parental leave, diversifying teams, interviewing candidates with different backgrounds and company transparency. There are constant org changes and promotions of the same people to higher and higher titles that I'm not sure help with big issues that they struggle with like communication and direction of the company, the CEO has way too many direct reports.
