Pros
There are many nice and helpful people at the lower level of the organization.
Cons
Executives have hyped the company to investors and execs now have their initial payout. This has placed an enormous burden on employees who are forced to work sweatshop-like hours to meet the investor's financial goals. The Christmas letter to employees instructed them to work harder and longer hours rather than to enjoy time with family, this is a consistent theme. The promise of an IPO to attract and retain talent is a common inventive but this company does not share the wealth via employee stock options. The long hours needed to reach the utilization targets are rewarded with meager bonuses for even the best performers. This company was on a high growth trajectory but many consultants are now idle in the US and UK resulting in layoffs. The company's focus is on converting Workday implementations into long term Workday support contracts. The consultants are a key part of this strategy but do not have a long term future in the organization.
