Pros

Workday has many genuinely talented and thoughtful people who care about doing things the right way. Cross-functional collaboration is generally strong, and the company has historically invested in scalable processes and customer trust. In proposal management specifically, there is meaningful exposure to complex, enterprise-level work that builds strong pattern recognition and stakeholder management skills. Compensation and benefits have been competitive, and many teams maintain a supportive day-to-day culture.

Cons

Like many large tech companies, Workday has been navigating ongoing organizational and market shifts, which has introduced periods of uncertainty and reprioritization. In some areas, resourcing and workload balance can become stretched, particularly in high-volume deal environments. As the company continues evolving its AI and efficiency strategy, some functions may feel pressure around role clarity and long-term positioning.

Pros

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Cons

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
