Sales Operation Leadership is Dictatorship

Pros

I loved working at Workday and would still be there if it was not for Sales Operations Leadership. This is a great company with many great, smart people.

Cons

I share a similar experience with the Sales Operations leadership. Having worked in other departments at Workday i know that the way this department is being run is not the norm. Unfortunately a lot of good people, dedicated employees had no other choice but leave the company because of the way they were treated but the Sales Operation leadership.

Pros

Excellent Technology and innovation. HCM is the bread and butter. The company is growing but has an Oracle/SAP feel to it...very tough to break in culture wise

Cons

Extremely low pay, poor benefits and immature management team. If you are outside of Pleasanton, it's very hard to figure out how to navigate, most managers assume that you should "just figure it out". In addition, territories are being cut so you may end up with very few accounts to call on and yet your number to reach Quota is huge...it's unrealistic. Very little in the way of upper management support.
