Pros

Nice people, good snacks, market leader

Cons

Unfortunately this is the only place to share feedback without being a target for retaliation. The reason for the 1 star is because I don't appreciate being told by my employer to "like" and "share" postings on social media about controversial issues at the national level. Today all employees were told to show support against the U.S. Executive Order on immigration. It's seems Workday should not be telling its employees what it should and shouldn't support in the US federal government. They are making false assumptions that all employees agree with their view point. It's very narrow minded of them to think this way as that is not the case with how all of their employees feel on this subject.

At Workday, we are proud of our values, which promote inclusion and belonging. We stand behind our belief that the executive order on immigration may be harmful to our employees and our business, but we also believe in the rights of each of our employees to hold their own beliefs. We would not ask someone to support or promote a position with which they do not agree. If our communication about Workday’s statement on the executive order led you to believe we want you to express the same views, we apologize. That was not our intent. Our values encourage all forms of diversity—including political beliefs—and we will continue doing our best to demonstrate that in our words and actions.

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.
