Pros

Workday was an amazing company to work for. They took care of me as an employee and gave me my first opportunity in the software industry. For this I am immensely grateful. The culture was truly a famlly. I was one of the first 1k employees and must say it felt like a family reunion every time I came to work. The quarterly company meetings, annual company picnic and bring you dog, kids, etc to work days made work fun and motivated you to do good for the greater good of the team.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO MOVE UP IN YOUR SALES CAREER DONT COME HERE! Let me explain. If you are just starting off in Software sales and are looking for a robust training and development program that will give you the fundamentals to move up in your career, this is not the place. The Workday recruiters will sell you on the idea that they have a program in place and that many CSDs have moved on to promising careers insde the company. Athough, this is somewhat true it is not the complete story. About 80% of CSDs leave the company to different organisations. Less than 10% get promoted to other teams and the other 10% stay in the CSD org as managers. The people that leave aren't incompetent but rather complete furstrated with the inability to move into a proper sales role. If you do decide to take the role be aware that it is incredibly hard to move out of this team and most of the jobs offered to you, if you are selected to move are NOT in sales (Pre-sales, low level consulting, operations, etc) I would be giving Workday a complement if I said this is one of the worst sales training programs out there because the fact of the matter is the sales training program is non-existent. If you are an ambitious young graduate who is serious about a career in tech sales don't come here. There are many organisations that have the tools in place to develop and mentor you. Look at SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, Zuora. These organisations have the tools in place to build your career in sales. Don't make the mistake I did and take a role as a CSD at Workday.

Pros

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.

Kontras

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.

Pros

Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

Kontras

Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
