Pros

+ an experience that lasts a lifetime

Cons

I cannot recommend this company under any circumstances. I have seen colleagues being dismissed in a sneaky way without HR. Some were lucky enough to find out about their termination from their colleagues instead of HR. Others were overheard using certain tools. Some were offered a severance package to avoid going to court. The company is very sneaky and unscrupulous. It is really very toxic and unfair as you can read in many US reviews. You are hired for one position but then asked to take on 5 more. This saves the company money. In addition, leads are distributed to the favourite employees while others have to work hard to reach their goal. There is a lot of lying, especially in the interview. I have seen many talented colleagues leave the company after a year. Some have even returned to their previous companies and that says it all. Everything is understandable when you do your research. Stay away for your own sanity!

We hear your concerns and thank you for raising them. You mentioned several points of feedback that are extremely valuable. Parting ways with our employees is always a delicate situation, and we understand that this warrants a process that is compliant, clear and thoughtful. The situations that you refer to are highly concerning, and we would appreciate learning more so that we are able to identify the root cause of these process gaps and effect positive change going forward. You also mentioned the lack of job scope clarity, and this is a critical priority for us as an HR organization. As a team, we have devoted significant energy in building out Workato’s Job Architecture and will continue to solidify job based competencies for each of our teams. We recognize that we are still in the earlier parts of the journey here, and appreciate you raising the need for us to continue to prioritize clarifying what each of our jobs entail in terms of scope and responsibilities. In addition, we are standing up resources like Interview Workshops and concrete plans around top talent retention that we look forward to sharing more on. Thank you for your feedback and as mentioned above, please feel free to reach out to your respective People Partner or hr-us@workato.com should you feel inclined to share more color on your experience. - VP, HR, Julie Tripsha

Poor Leadership with no follow through

Pros

Remote Working Good product for Commercial market

Cons

CEO shows favoritism towards his favorites and long-tenured employees, which HR leaders are aware of but have not been able to address effectively. The company strategy is poorly executed due to limited consultation during its development and a lack of follow-through, such as with the "North Star" initiative. The CEO is not known for being a good listener. The company is facing operational issues and employees have a low level of trust in senior leaders. The product offered is not suitable for enterprise-level use.

Pros

- Do what it takes culture for winning deals - executives available to get involved in every opportunity - Flexible remote working - Great technology with customer stories to back up - Strong Sales Engineering team

Cons

- Management not addressing pipeline generation challenges directly - Execs not aware of things in EMEA causing org structure mess - Some smart individuals but no team culture - can be toxic and a lot of fear due to layoffs, resignations and deactivated accounts - Inexperienced senior manager with few people skills
