Pros

The product is decent and there are some good teammates.

Cons

Where to begin? The company is more interested in national / global politics than in the company itself. If you are a leftist, this is the place for you. If not, then you will find yourself embarrassed to work here with their constant spouting off on whatever DNCC talking point they receive. Pay is mediocre at best. OTE has not increased in about 10 years (if ever) so there are plenty of other places where the pay is better. They talk about RSUs but those get significantly smaller every year to the point now of barely noticeable. Product is still decent but they no longer innovate — except by acquisition which is generally the sign of a company past its prime. The Power of 1 (which used to be a differentiator) is long gone and they have become the same “Frakensoftware” for which they used to criticize competitors.

Pros

Workday is a truly values-driven company, and you can feel it every day. We’re in the middle of an exciting transformation to drive more innovation and speed, and while that has meant making some tough decisions, those decisions are always grounded in our core values. Employees and customers are consistently kept at the center, and there’s a real sense that doing what’s right guides how we operate and where we’re going as a company.

Cons

Decision-making can sometimes feel slow and unclear, as it’s not always obvious who has true ownership or final say. In a few areas, especially HR, leadership can feel more oriented around selling and positioning our products than around deep, hands-on practitioner experience, which occasionally creates a gap between strategy and the day-to-day needs of employees and managers.

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
