      Pros

      Workday started at a good pace with the right values. The product is overall great, with lots of interesting pieces.

      Cons

      Claims that it sets industry standards for HR/FIN/technology, while it lacks any standards. No corporate culture or values. Proved to be a very toxic place during the pandemic. No established career trajectories. Unexperienced management chain. Lots of nepotism. The company used to take pride and saying they are different from Oracle, it is becoming even worse. Pay increase only via stocks, very mediocre base increases.

      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.
