Pros

Great benefits and people to work with

Cons

Leadership is too focused on woke hiring practices and medical tyranny rather than just sticking to creating and selling a good product. I left because they were forcing actions and beliefs on me that did not line up with my beliefs and I was called names in an open town hall for not agreeing with their stances on things and asking valid questions. They say they like diversity and inclusion, but their actions do NOT align with that if you don't agree with their stances on things or challenge them in any way.

No opportunities...

Pros

There are some great people. But an equal amount of not so great who bring down the culture.

Cons

No opportunities to have any sort ownership on deals unless you are one of a handful of people in Presales who leadership has decided to develop. Sales and leadership have selective hearing and don’t value ideas or opinions of all team members. No diversity, especially in sales. Mostly white males 30s-50s. Depending on who you are assigned to work with, can often be a hostile work environment. If you have one off day at a meeting, expect to be given zero to minimal opportunities for a foreseeable future, and especially not with any sort of deal ownership/leadership capacity. Sales Club for Presales is a joke. Except not to be told about not making Club until Sales Kickoff when you’re forced to sit in the back of the room for keynotes and other speakers.

Stay Away from Workday Education

Pros

Loved the company and the innovation

Cons

The Workday Education group is full of terrible, back-stabbing people. It's run like a police-state, no dissent allowed, words are monitored, ideas are discouraged.
