      Best Place to Work a self-inflicted Myth - Technical Writer Workday Employee Review

      Pros

      They provide a lot of soft company benefits, like all the snacks and sodas you can eat.

      Cons

      While the company repeatedly ranked as one of the best places to work in the San Francisco Bay area, that is inside company propaganda. The way they treat employees is no different than any other megalithic company. I personally was hired for one position in an area of expertise, but within 6 months was moved to an area where I had no expertise. And they later fired me as a result. The company had a unlimited time off policy. But when I took more days than my boss, he came down on me. David Duffield and his minions talked a good deal about what made it a great place to work, but the reality is no different than any other large company.

      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.
