Pros

Overall, it's a decent place and people still want Workday to be what is advertised. Generally, there is respect for individuals

Cons

* Understanding how to operate as a diverse workplace is largely lacking. Rather than updating our "game" and making new inclusive ways of working, people who have different backgrounds or approaches are seen as low performers and get pushed out. * Managers talk and gossip about employees entirely too much. It's unfair to the individual especially when they don't hear the feedback directly or given a chance to share their side. *Org leaders don't know what is going on with their teams. They are too busy helping sales or making the senior leaders happy with unhelpful processes to spend time on managing people. * Internal applications to other positions require current manager approval, which makes the process difficult. You are treated differently as soon as they know you're interested in something else. There can be micro-retaliations that are hard to prove, but you can feel it. When we apply outside of the company, no one knows. Why is it acceptable to require we share for internal?

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.
