Pros

The people are some of the most passionate and bright that I've ever worked with. The product actually work!

Cons

No 401k match, no maternity / parental leave other than what is mandated by the government through fmla or through individual states (California, Rhode Island, New Jersey). Top leaders say jump and the rest of the organization asks how high. I've been at Workday for about a year and has gone through 2 reorgs and 2 managers already. There is no clear path of career progression or raises / promotions. Management gives the same people recognition quarter after quarter.

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.
