Pros

Everyone starts at the same place. No one has prior knowledge that can put them ahead of another workmate (what we call coworkers). And all the other workmates are friendly and eager to help because they remember when they were new and how they got help from everyone. At Workday its all about paying it forward and keeping that friendly and collaborative environment alive. One thing I love about Workday is how approachable everyone is. Even the CEOs are approachable! They usually hang amongst the employees at big events like the pool tournament. You can skype or slack someone and ask them for help and next thing you know you guys are hanging out at the next company cantina. Which brings me to my next pro: Cantinas. These are end-of-week parties where free food and booze are provided for the sole purpose of socializing with coworkers. Workday really cares for employees and they want you to be comfortable with who you work with so they encourage any and all socialization. There's so many other pros like company meetings and bonuses and clubs and affinity groups and benefits and RSUs and working from Ireland etc., etc.

Cons

Parking. 😓 but we are growing to accomidate our growth in the market 🙌 soon parking spaces for all. Also its still a young company and they haven't turned a profit so you get the RSU (restricted stock unit) as compensation a lot..

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
