Pros

Company as a whole is good. Lots of fun events to make employees happy.

Cons

Middle management in sales operations (deal management) is horrible. Management is mediocre and promoted to their level of incompetence who abuses power and destroys team morale. Even after several members of the team have left the company because of the this terrible middle management, the company has done nothing to remediate this behavior. Other parts of the company is great, just beware of joining their deal management team. Worst working experience ever. Don't ever expect to grow your career within this group if you are not personal friends with your manager.

Pros

Workday is a great place to work, you can express yourself, get the tools you need to do your job and get training to chase your career goals. Fun parties, events and culture. Definitely solid. My manager and my sr. manager are not only my bosses, they're also my personal friends and I love them dearly.

Cons

Upper management does nothing but ignore the subject experts. Whether it's pushing for a project and insisting on unrealistic time frames or just downright ignoring the project engineer because the vendor is a potential customer. Pulling in "friends" who are ill-equiped or downright awful to manage at high levels. Nothing but butt kissing and ignoring their subordinates. The overall impression of the SMT in my org, is they don't give a damn about anyone who isn't a director or above. All we are are tools in their scheme to get that next raise. It's sickening. That and they declare organizational goals and then RADICALLY change them a month later. Nobody takes them seriously because they make it impossible to do so.
