Pros

Workday is a fun and challenging place to work. Everyone there is top talent; Workday does not waste its time with mediocrity. Expect to have a lot expected of you and to be surrounded by people who strive to better themselves and learn something new every day. Also, the work/life balance and flexibility is as good as it gets. Work from home whenever you need to, as long as you get your job done.

Cons

Workday is still a fairly new company and is still growing and learning. I think they need to focus on their benefits offering at their regional offices. Headquarters may have free parking, but in Boston it's pretty standard for a company of Workday's size to offer a commuter subsidy. However, only the pre-tax deduction is offered. The 401k match just started in 2016, which is great. But, I hope it grows to be more than the cap of a $3k match. Also, the company has an unlimited PTO policy, which is great for anyone who is NOT in the professional services part of the organization. In professional services, there are billable hours targets that must be met to receive your bonus, and they only give you a 3 week PTO "credit" (i.e. any PTO time or other non-billable time, including the mandatory training and meetings, over 3 weeks has to be made up to achieve your target).

Pros

Offers an awesome learning environment to hone your technical skills. The salary is decent and comes with some equity. In addition, the office is within blocks of the Stoneridge Mall.

Cons

Despite all the positive aspects, I had a tremendously difficult time working with the management team. They set incredibly high expectations even for new-hires. I found myself working 70 to 80 hours a week, yet that wasn't enough.

Not a sales friendly company

Pros

Benefits are by far the best I've ever seen.

Cons

Constant shifting of territories so you never are able to create or keep prospects that you have nurtured over many years. Plus not that many reps make any money at all. More sales support associates go to Club than Account Execs.
