Pros

- Your personal health is of huge importance to leadership. - If you are feeling stagnant in your position, there are other opportunities within the company for you, even if it means only a temporary change. - The best Onboarding experience you will have in terms of getting to know what the company is about. - The company, as a whole, has an extremely positive work environment and are very optimistic about the product moving forward. - Aneel is a very smart individual and he has almost every employee's backing

Cons

- The benefits and pay aren't even close to the rest of the Bay Area. It is very hard to negotiate a raise. - It is very hard to get noticed at Workday for your contributions. In a company full of rockstars that are handpicked by managers as their favorites, this is very troublesome if you don't have a very outgoing personality and don't often stand out in a crowd. - There is not much work to be had here. I wasn't learning at as fast pace as some of my peers outside of the company were. There were many days I spent surfing the internet waiting for more work/responsibility to be dumped on my plate.

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.
