Pros

Friendly and down-to-earth coworkers, grateful and happy customers, plenty of autonomy, strong internal communications, commitment to positive and progressive culture. There has been noticeable improvement on aligning department and company-wide goals. The headquarters in Ames is lovely and the cafeteria is AMAZING. Workiva's solutions are also essential for so many businesses, specifically public companies, so that offers some level of stability.

Cons

Workflow efficiency and process documentation and automation could be improved within the marketing organization. Often times long-time employees (there are a lot of them!) get things accomplished through back-channels without a defined process, this can make it difficult to scale initiatives.

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
