      Great Product But Long Sales Cycle!

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amazing product but 1 trick pony. We boast about Financials but 90% of large enterprise customers cannot fit the bill for our solution, especially manufacturing.

      Cons

      It take 2+ years to close a large enterprise deal. Most of the large enterprise reps are starving. Too many reps and leadership keeps changing. It was so bad last year that they had to change the rules for the club trip so more people can attend. If you have made good money in the past, I wouldn't recommend coming here. Although, this would be a great place to start a sales career.

      Culture is Great, Technology Not So Much

      Software development engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Workday prides itself on its culture, and I actually feel that is a bit of an undersell relative to my experience here. This is honestly a great place to work. The company and the people genuinely care about you. Management gives you all the tools you need to succeed, and they are generally very open about encouraging PTO (it's unlimited) to make sure nobody is overworked.

      Cons

      There's really no two ways around this, but the proprietary "language" XpressO is not going to do anyone with further career aspirations any good. There are little to no transferable skills, and in general, it is just frustrating to use. Even the more "traditional" software engineering roles are hamstrung by the fact that the company revolves about XpressO. This creates an environment where people are either frustrated in their current positions or have been resigned to being stuck in those positions -- either is not ideal.
