Decreasing engineering

Pros

Still chill in some orgs that are not XO.

Cons

Unfortunately the engineering is undervalued in this company, you could tell it’s just a cost. No events, no meetups organized. No travel to meet your team if you’re remote. There’s stagnation in salaries and focus is on sales and marketing. Stock is not growing at all for past 4 years

Pros

- Really nice and skilled people in some teams

Cons

- Workday culture is becoming more and more toxic - Offshoring most of the jobs to India - Cost cutting everywhere (data retention, RSU,salary, holiday parties, on-call payments and so many other areas...) - For people considering joining workday: It used to be great, but right now avoid it at all cost...

Can be difficult at times, especially for juniors, to see how their work impacts the end user. Slow to build features Feedback loop with end user is too slow at times
