Pluspunten

So maybe take this with a "grain of salt" as I clearly have "drank the cool-aid" but I can't imagine selling software for another company ever again. The software is built right, delivered right, supported right - I just can't imagine having it any better anywhere else. The job isn't easy. Our customers are making a decision to tear out a core system of record, be it HR or Finance or both - so regardless of how much they like Workday, timing really does drive the sales cycle. But the value to move to Workday is clear for the prospect who is willing to invest the time to evaluate. As for the mechanics of being an AE at Workday - I think everything is fair. Management is fair, territories are fair, support is fair - the opportunity is what you make of it.

Minpunten

You have to work for every deal. I don't know if this is a "con" so much, I think good sales people expect this, but Workday sales people don't have the luxury of a customer running some legacy system of ours and upgrading to our current cloud offering.

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 people, benefits, culture, and pay. Lots of "workmates" with long tenures (10+ years). I truly wanted to retire from Workday!

Minpunten

Leadership changes freaked a lot of people out. Things felt unstable within the org for the last year (2025). The culture shifted from one that focused on employee growth to adopt all AI at all costs, and do it yesterday! It was extremely stressful to learn so much, so quickly, and create your own use cases and custom workflows - then to ultimately be laid off despite significant contributions.
