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.

Pros

Great people, benefits, culture, and pay. Lots of "workmates" with long tenures (10+ years). I truly wanted to retire from Workday!

Cons

Leadership changes freaked a lot of people out. Things felt unstable within the org for the last year (2025). The culture shifted from one that focused on employee growth to adopt all AI at all costs, and do it yesterday! It was extremely stressful to learn so much, so quickly, and create your own use cases and custom workflows - then to ultimately be laid off despite significant contributions.
