      Pros

      Flexible hours, and ample opportunities for advancement for those willing to pursue them. Workday is a company that wants to develop and retain their talent by investing directly in them. Lots of work to do that keeps me busy all day. No down time - which is good for me, the day goes by quickly. Manager is great; very willing to teach new skills, making me more valuable to the entire team.

      Cons

      Proprietary programming languages ( domain specific languages or internal scripting languages), slowly takes you away from rest of industry Company has grown to a size that growth is slow Emphasis on collaboration is to an extreme that it slows down and takes innovation off the table

      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.
