Pros

I have some amazing colleagues who I genuinely love working with. People are generally very decent and respectful and there are far fewer egomaniacs than I have encountered at other similarly sized companies.

Cons

In the 6 years that I’ve been at Workday I’ve watched it morph from a really unique employee-centric & values driven company into just another big tech company. Unfortunately leadership will not own up to this as the “employee first” culture that they pretend still exists is literally the only value proposition for potential employees as comp is below average and the tech stack is a disaster

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.
