Pros

The overall culture is a good one - trying to keep a start-up agile mentality. Also big on charity and giving back. In general the compensation and benefits are in line with what you'd expect from a rapidly growing, successful Silicon Valley SaaS company.

Cons

The leadership within internal IT are not thought leaders in this area. Rather, they are reactive to whatever the business wants, regardless of whether it makes sense for Workday as a company. Also, they tend to be reactive to the latest sales pitches, and not analytical about what makes sense for Workday. They are not appreciative or receptive to area expertise that might not align with their view of the world. If you espouse erudition, this is probably not the department for you to work in. If you just like pulling in a paycheck, go for it.

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.
