Pros

The culture at Workday is incredibly friendly, supportive, and social. Lots of opportunities to engage with other employees, even ones outside of your team. Everyone I have encountered on my team has been willing to help and many will often drop what they are doing to help right there and then.

Cons

On Application Development, a lot of the tech is proprietary and has a really steep learning curve. XpressO is not an easy language to learn and I have felt unproductive and dependent on help even now almost 8 months into the job. Other tech is a little outdated, but we are catching up.

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.
