Pros

Strong wellbeing culture, good work–life balance, and a clear effort to take care of employees. The benefits are fair, and the Amsterdam office is beautiful and in a nice location.

Cons

Over the past two years, the work environment has become increasingly chaotic, with even simple tasks becoming unnecessarily overcomplicated. There is often a lack of clear strategy and leadership in decision-making, which makes the job feel more frustrating than it should be. Manager quality varies significantly across the company; while some are excellent, my own manager is not very competitive or effective, which affects team clarity and performance. In addition, many new roles have been introduced, particularly within the partners team, but their scope is often unclear and, at times, seems unnecessary, creating more confusion than value.

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
