      Pros

      When I joined during Covid, culture was everything you have heard of. Very diverse company except for most senior leadership. Nice campus. Supportive.

      Cons

      Something changed at Workday when Carl joined. The culture is noticeably declining—and fast. Many of us did not receive bonuses and merit increases this year with management making up excuses despite record profits. Layoffs (after the company lied to us) decimated morale. Return to office was sucking the life out of all of us. You didn’t pay us Apple and Google salaries to micromanage us 3 days a week? Internal mobility seems like it has stagnated and there have been whispers that management has been ordered to deny promotions.

      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.
