Pros

Excellent culture. People care about success, not for individuals, but for the company. I'm in product development and everyone cares about the quality of the product. Do we have to make shortcuts to meet customer deadlines? Of course. But that's a conscious choice. The company is filled with learning opportunities and extremely intelligent and experienced people. As a young college graduate, this has been a great community of mentors and colleagues to work with.

Cons

As Workday grows, it's feeling growing pains in its processes and communication channels. How do we ensure speed to market with growing number of dependencies for each product? How do we allow everyone's opinions to be heard without endlessly delaying actual development? These are problems every decently sized company struggle with, and Workday is no exception to them. But everyone is conscious of them and are making an effort to solve these problems. That's all anyone can ask for.

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.
