Pros

Some teams still have that amazing culture that made Workday unique. If you're lucky, the culture is worth the low compensation and poor tech stack

Cons

Outsourcing jobs while pretending to care about you Upper management intentions are no longer transparent Upper management seems directionless In comparison to other big tech companies, compensation is low

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.
