Pros

They are still trying to uphold the facade of what Workday once was, which makes it slightly better than other tech companies. The tide will turn completely in the near future I’m sure.

Cons

Workdays value proposition was historically - look after your people, your most important (and expensive) asset. It has now changed to cull the people and replace them with bots. This is reflected in the culture. Efficiency over humanity. This is now what we sell and how we behave. RIP Workday.

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
