Great place to work but not sure about the CEO

Pros

Great people, culture and benefits.

Cons

New CEO actions don't match the company values and likes constant firings and restructuring. Seems like a yearly mandatory action not based on performance.

We understand how painful and unsettling this moment has been. Saying goodbye to talented and valued Workmates is never easy and we’re appreciative of their contributions in helping shape the company’s journey. Workdays committed to supporting those affected during this transition.

Toxic to another level

Pros

The HR Ops team and management create a very challenging work environment. There is excessive micromanagement, and even after escalating concerns to higher management, issues often remain unresolved. This makes it difficult to find peace of mind at work.

Cons

Brand value Few benefits RSUs
