Pros

- Really nice and skilled people in some teams

Cons

- Workday culture is becoming more and more toxic - Offshoring most of the jobs to India - Cost cutting everywhere (data retention, RSU,salary, holiday parties, on-call payments and so many other areas...) - For people considering joining workday: It used to be great, but right now avoid it at all cost...

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.
