Pros

One thing I love about Workday is that the employees are very open in communicating with each other and they expect the best from their managers and leadership.

Cons

Too many good people getting walked out so incoming management can bring their friends in. Too many incoming incompetent people with egos bigger than ability. Need to go back to basics - hire good people that do a great job and care about the customer more than they care about their buddies and personal ladder climbing. Over the time I've been here the layers of management have tripled - it's unnecessary.

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.
