Fantastic work-life balance, but it needs work on compensation
Being a company that does enterprise software (a relatively tame field from a publicity standpoint), it's not as stressful to work at Workday as it is at Facebook or Google, where breaking something means it's on the news at 6 p.m. It's a nice place to work; the pace isn't as frantic as it is with the big fish of the valley. Sales seems to be killing it too.
Compensation should be higher for a company that, at this point, is very well known and attractive. The tech needs to be updated. While there seems to be progress, only time will tell.
The longer you delay investing in or fixing the tech that your platform's built on, the more costly it's going to be to fix.
