Are you a woman? Avoid. Are you a man wanting to pass tactical work to women? Sure, work here. - Anonymous employee Workato Employee Review

After 24 hours, I'm updating my review to say: I realize the title does not help the organization attract women (which it NEEDS to); however, I gave this feedback over three months ago to multiple senior & C-suite leaders prior to my leaving and based on my connections there, nothing has improved. So for the time being, until things do change (which I was really hopeful they would), I still would not recommend to any female jobseeker. This isn't a mean review, I did the company a huge favor by providing this feedback with months runway before going public. I'm also excluding the documented sexist behaviors I experienced. Systemic sexism and implicit bias are the biggest issues at Workato. It's really not malicious either- they just don't realize how women are given the "to-dos" while the boys club get to high-five and talk strategy...or whatever they talk about, because the organization lacks strategy. How that shows up is the longest list of goals (think size 8 font on one slide) because there is no focus or long term plan. Everything is tactical. And everything tactical is passed to the women. I was happy with my pay until I realized what my male counterparts were making. I was happy with my shares until I realized what my male counterparts had in shares. I was happy to work my tail off until I realized I was the do-er and the men were the face of the work. Many of the male leaders lack basic competence and EQ. It's concerning to feel like the smart one in the room when you absolutely should not be (given levels and years of experience.) Workato seems to operate under the "you can cost-cut your way to greatness". I have worked at other pre-IPO, fast growing start ups. There's a difference between healthy chaos and pure erraticism. Goals and directions change every day or week. No one can plan long term because decisions aren't made fast enough. There are a lot of meetings because a LOT of talking happens when sometimes you just need to DO and figure your way through it. Because of the last minute indecisiveness, people are stretched thin, burnt out and stressed when many of those stressors could be avoided with a SOUND, FOCUSED strategy in place. Roles are not scoped causing confusion and then leading others to become redundant. Leaders are mesmerized by logos on resumes and will hire people just to get them in the door before knowing what their role will be. It helps no one and is again, erratic. My mental health was low and stress was at an all-time high during my time here. There are things I take ownership for, and the majority in hindsight still hindered on how the organization operates and my direct manager.
