Spit out the Kool-Aid
Spit out the Kool-Aid
Work/life balance:
- Beer fridge
- Game room
- Gym
- Awesome food
Casual work environment.
Various places to work within the building: nooks and crannies by fireplaces or TVs, or outside.
The prestige of being an employee of Workiva.
No 401k match. Poor salaries, significantly below national markets. The only way to stay in good graces is to be friends with middle/upper management or have a job no one else wants. Extremely cliquish environment, seems almost slightly like high school, except the geeks run everything. Bonuses are lacking. Stock is failing. Grew way too fast. Now it is trying to rectify the poor promotions it created by letting carpool buddies, gym friends, and bar pals make it into middle management with poor management skills and lacking interpersonal skills.
Clean house. Now.
Your middle and upper management is atrocious.
Get some women into your IT management. The boys' club is not welcoming.

The process began with a brief phone screening, followed by an online interview. During the online interview, we did pair programming exercises in JavaScript and were asked questions about compatibility with the company culture.
