Pros

Salary is higher than other companies in the area.

Cons

Management is more focused on using a stick to drive productivity rather than a carrot which drove my motivation down.

Pros

Work-life balance is reasonable. Some co-workers are supportive.

Cons

Management runs for cover and creates false performance narratives in order to justify not paying bonus. This is illegal behavior.

Pros

- There are some pockets in the product that have high growth potential - Some people are really smart and good to work with

Cons

- CEO seems lost: apart from the quaterly focus on revenue and margin guidance, there is no vision. Also, fake empathy after layoffs. - Workday’s employee-first culture has been destroyed: it’s now a cutthroat environment, with the usual backstabbing, stack rankings, and political games - Executives keep piling up super high compensation (stock-based, so it does not affect the margin guidance) while growth decelerates, employee morale goes rock bottom, and no real vision is established
