Pluspunten

- Great company culture - Fantastic people (not your stereotypical engineering recluse or tech bro) - Unlimited PTO, and they mean it - Regular raises based on performance - Active leadership development and a drive to see you succeed in whichever path you choose - 401k match coming soon - New HQ places Workday on par with any of the top Bay Area tech companies (cafeteria, gym, etc.)

Minpunten

Overall, my main complaint is that their total compensation is not on par with the other major tech companies in the Bay Area. The major downside of being a software application developer is working in a proprietary language called XpressO, which has little obvious carryover to other languages as it is done entirely in the UI - no line by line coding. However, the basic ideas of programming and software structure are strengthened, and there is a shift toward a more conventional programming language in the works.

Pluspunten

Workday is a truly values-driven company, and you can feel it every day. We’re in the middle of an exciting transformation to drive more innovation and speed, and while that has meant making some tough decisions, those decisions are always grounded in our core values. Employees and customers are consistently kept at the center, and there’s a real sense that doing what’s right guides how we operate and where we’re going as a company.

Minpunten

Decision-making can sometimes feel slow and unclear, as it’s not always obvious who has true ownership or final say. In a few areas, especially HR, leadership can feel more oriented around selling and positioning our products than around deep, hands-on practitioner experience, which occasionally creates a gap between strategy and the day-to-day needs of employees and managers.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
