      Pros

      None that I can think off.

      Cons

      "This is the process that we follow in Workday". This is the banter that you will always hear from the Managers. There is a lot of micro-management and you will always be nudged to provide updates. No work-life-balance at all. You have meetings at 8 in the morning and then at 8 in the night. Work is all Managers need. They don't treat employees like humans. Ask for PTOs, Managers will come up with some work or excuse and won't approve. I literally had to beg for vacation to visit my family.

      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.
