Pros

The pay is good but you end up working 80 hours a week.

Cons

Leadership is toxic. Executives believe Workday is so great that the product can sell itself. It is a product culture, not a sales culture. I never saw any info a rankings or the annual awards incentives. Leadership treat their top sales reps as dispensable. The hours are not sustainable and people burn out quickly. There is no work life balance. This is expected of you. The culture was absolutely horrible and the worst place I have ever worked.

Bad experience

Pros

Benefits, flexibility, brand awareness, new CEO

Cons

I had a really bad experience at this company. In the short time I was there, 3 levels of leadership turned over. Leadership in the org I supported was all promoted from within and struggles with making even basic decisions. Everything moves very slowly and it’s difficult to drive any sort of internal innovation. I never experienced the workmate culture and instead it felt like a clique where people that had been there a long time or had been practitioners were not open to new people or ideas. I think bringing in the new CEO was a great idea and hopefully he can turn things around.

Pros

Good work if you want to be in HR Tech

Cons

Too many people are parked in the company playing internal politics, creating cliques. Dislike for employees from Oracle. Not a safe place for women given workplace incidents that were poorly handled by the HR team which was predominantly female.
