Pros

Technology is the best I have ever sold...WDAY backs up innovation, support, customer stories claims..they are real

Cons

Sales alignment, transitioning from those who benefited from the IPO to those who are new.

Pros

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Cons

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
