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)
You will be working on their proprietary language. Think about the future!!!!
Hey Yes, thanks for pointing that out. I already had a long discussion on that with the team and looks that team is pretty diverse in terms of technology. They are not just working on the proprietary language. Btw, do you have any insights on the level and compensation??
My old boss is with WDAY. He clearly told me about the technology area. The range was around TC $ 230
In line with p3
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.
Is this an apps team or tools team? If its an apps team, completely agree with akku2 and market1 about working on XpressO
Yeah. Just avoid apps if you don't wanna get into XpressO. Tools is all Scala / Java.
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.
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.
Hey thanks for your reply. If I understand correctly workday has atleast 2-3 yrs of growth remaining and Ellie Mae at this juncture can go either way and considering recession or economic slowdown is coming in another 1-2 yrs, there may be further downsizing at Ellie Mae. I am of course weighing 2 more offers that I have and workday is one of them and I am inclined towards workday because of the easy commute and good wlb.
Whatday, that’s a highly pessimistic and somewhat misleading comment. My team doesn’t do any XO. It’s just Java and Scala with a bit of python scripting here and there. I have seen a lot of internal transfers. So, that’s definitely a possibility for OP later on, if they choose so. Also, I don’t see a lay-off coming. In fact, with the rate at which I have seen people getting hired in the last few months, I think the company is quite upbeat and confident about its prospects in near future.
Go to a place where you will build transferable skills over easy commute, "perceived" good culture and WLB. Don't fall into their XO trap!
They are not trying to lowball you. They actually think that's what an appropriate level is. If you don't agree, you don't have to accept. However, I think that is a reasonable TC.
Select Compensation from WorkdaySalary where level = 12
