Query on Workday compensation and level

Aug 6, 2019 27 Comments

I have been interviewed for a Sr Software Engg position last week at workday and the interview feedback is positive. Current YOE is 12. But the recruiter is saying they can offer me a high Software Engineer III based on the interview feedback. Just wanted to understand from workday folks if this leveling is Ok or they are trying to low ball ?



Workday offer:

Location : Pleasanton, CA
Base : 154k
Stock : 125k in 4 yrs
Sign on : 10k

Total : 195k

Current TC : 165(base +bonus + RSU)

    My guess is the interview feedback wasn’t strong enough for a P4 and the panel thinks you’d do great at P3. As others mentioned the TC is within P3 range.

    That is what they tell you when you are hired but if you are joining any of the app dev teams, its going to be 75% or more on XO. Consider yourself lucky if you can find a team that does > 40% in traditional technologies. Also sounds like you would qualify for a P4 with 12 years of experience, unless you r interview really didn't go well.

    OP. You survived a round of layoffs at Ellie Mae. Why do you want to leave to join a place where layoffs may be coming???

    Workday has already created too much proprietary technology and tools that aren't transferable to other companies. No matter which product team you go, you can't really get away from XO.

      Pinkfloyd, OP hasn't confirmed if they are joining an apps team or a tools team, so its entirely possible that they will be mostly working on xo.

      Agreed that internal transfer is a possibility, however joining an XO team with an intent of internally transferring in the near future is counter productive for both the team and the employee.

  • You will be working on their proprietary language. Think about the future!!!!

    My guess is OP doesn’t have much leverage here to renegotiate.
