      Pros

      Were a lot of great employees at the start and a definite sense of teamwork and everyone working towards a larger vision to help grow the company.

      Cons

      Sadly most have the good people have already left. The company has decided to backfill with a lot of mediocre players from Oracle and SAP which totally kills the culture. Management in certain departments is a bit of a mess.

      Could be a great place to work

      Pros

      - One of the better companies for people that lives in the east bay and don't want to commute - Good pay but not to compare with companies in the south bay or peninsula - Lots of good people that I enjoyed work with

      Cons

      - Lots of politics. I was told by someone that you need to have strong connections to PeopleSoft or Ireland / Dublin to be successful. First I was very skeptical but became a believer based on my personal experience - Dated technology - Political driven decisions - Frequent re-orgs

      Pros

      So maybe take this with a "grain of salt" as I clearly have "drank the cool-aid" but I can't imagine selling software for another company ever again. The software is built right, delivered right, supported right - I just can't imagine having it any better anywhere else. The job isn't easy. Our customers are making a decision to tear out a core system of record, be it HR or Finance or both - so regardless of how much they like Workday, timing really does drive the sales cycle. But the value to move to Workday is clear for the prospect who is willing to invest the time to evaluate. As for the mechanics of being an AE at Workday - I think everything is fair. Management is fair, territories are fair, support is fair - the opportunity is what you make of it.

      Cons

      You have to work for every deal. I don't know if this is a "con" so much, I think good sales people expect this, but Workday sales people don't have the luxury of a customer running some legacy system of ours and upgrading to our current cloud offering.
