Pros

Salary 10% above avg on the market

Cons

1. Layoffs. They told us it's because of AI, but after 6 months started to hire in India like crazy. They almost stopped hiring developers in other places. 2. Almost no promotions. Rare ones are given to one's who are politically loud, keen doing nothing else. 3. They stopped giving refreshes to many people based on rules like "25% shouldn't get them", no matter how hard they worked

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We recommend having a candid discussion on this topic with your People Leader in an upcoming one-on-one meeting to better understand your compensation alignment and how this ties to performance. If you are looking for alternative avenues to raise these concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Employee Relations mailer (employee.relations@workday.com) or our SpeakUp reporting hotline (which allows reporters to remain anonymous). We know the recent restructuring has been difficult. These were hard decisions and we’re committed to supporting those impacted during this transition.
