Pros

- Large stock grant when joining Workday

Cons

- Instead of giving raises, they grant stock - that doesn’t beat for 4 years … I heard this may have changed - Only raise I received, despite promotion, was when I received cost of living increase

Pros

It’s an ok company with a veneer of caring about the customer

Cons

The company has become more like all other large software companies. It used to be employee and customer first. Now it’s neither
