Pros

Strong compensation and benefits. External reputation.

Cons

Frequent organizational changes and restructuring can create uncertainty. Leadership decisions around automation and expansion are sometimes unclear at the team level, and communication between executives and employees can feel limited. Career development can also feel inconsistent depending on the organization.

Pros

Compensation and talent. Great pay and competitive benefits as compared to other HR SaaS companies. Amazing bunch of talented and dedicated employees throughout the organization.

Cons

Executive leadership shift and reorgs has many employees uncertain about the future. Second consecutive year of layoffs and health insurance premiums increased. AI rollout moving slower than planned. WDAY taking a sharp hit as are all software stocks.
