Pros

Workiva offered many coding challenges, and you will grow in your technical skills there.

Cons

Workiva often makes technical designs in a top-down approach. My team had very little autonomy and we were underappreciated. We had very little input into technical decisions or architecture. Successes were rarely celebrated. Management seemed more interested in how we made them look and had little interest in building us up. The pay was low, considering the difficulty of the programming we had to do and the scope and scale of our codebase and problem set. Management would get upset if you disagreed with them, and this resulted in having to lie to management to make them happy.

Advice to Management

Allow your employees to have more input into technical decisions and allow them to disagree with you.
