Joining workday a good move?

Been interviewing for workday and will likely get an offer. Is it a good company to join at senior with 7 yoe? What does going to next level look like given that there is no staff level? Any other insights or things I should consider? From levels.fyi the pay looks decent enough. Current tc : 0 #tech #workday #sde #jobhunt #jobs #offer

P5/P6 is probably closer to staff. Levels are different everywhere.

Yes thank you, so does it take more time to go from p4 to p5 n does this affect my career if I switch companies later? Also would you consider this a good company to work at growth n work life balance wise?

WLB is pretty great, depends on team. Growth, idk tbh. There’s things you can do, and some stuff is quite difficult to move. 50% RTO is required per quarter. Our new promotion policy is probably the worst thing I’ve ever heard of. They want like 3+ years in the role after p3+. It’s quite the bummer. If you want a promotion you basically need competing offers, or to boomerang.

Did you interviewed recently? What was the interview process

Apple $fo OP Mar 23

I think I’m pretty sure it’s different for each role, others can confirm

My interview is for software application engineer

Don't join as software application engineer. You'll regret it in the long term.

Apple $fo OP Mar 24

Thank you, how exactly? Like is the work bad or just general because of how promotions are structured?

For application development, workday uses their proprietary tech and then you'll go out of touch with what's happening in the world. If it's not application development workday is a pretty good company. In terms of culture workday is one of the very best. You can ask whether you'll be working on XO or not.

For career? No. For rest and vest, chill? Possible.

Chilling??? Rest and vest is impossible in Workday now

Why do you want to leave Apple to join Workday? There is no comparison when it comes to compensation and wlb.. Wlb in Workday has completely changed now after our new CEO came into power

Apple $fo OP Mar 25

Not at Apple anymore. Wlb - Is this for every team and org or just a few of them?
