Pros

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.

Kontras

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.

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.
