Workday vs OCI

Sep 22, 2021 32 Comments

I'm in the offer stage. Looking for some inputs on Workday.

Workday (Sr App Eng) - P4

At Workday, They have some refresher but I was told I need to work on Proprietary language. Any one have insights and if its good for the career?

I have the offer from Oracle/OCI (IC4). I understand workday is better option with respect to culture but worried about their xpresso Proprietary language.

Workday TC is 50k less than OCI.

    For quality of life, pick workday. If you have a plan in mind for your career move out of apps, and don't get complacent, apps can be okay for a couple years.

      A lot of apps teams also write YP and react now. Still blows but it blows less.

      Mandatory 18 month minimum in your role before any transfers. Having understanding of the proprietary tech makes you more desirable in the eyes of tools, but they still will expect you know how to code (also unfortunately some teams trash apps as second rate developers)

    I would pick workday.

    XO sucks and it evaporates your engineering skills, but what I did was switch teams as fast as I could to a full stack team not using XO.

    If you are willing to take a similar route, Workday for sure.

      Follow up - it’s unlikely you’ll find another tech job with better WLB than workday. They put employee happiness #1. If that’s important to you, it could be worth taking a bullet on XO for a little while until you find your footing in another team in the company.

    Workday is better company but app devs work with XO and that’s no bueno. Did you also interview for SDE? What’s oracles offer? Workday P4 app dev you can expect

    Base:180-200k, RSU: 200-250k, Bonus 10% and sign on negotiable

      SDE vs Software App Dev are two different roles, main difference is Apps uses proprietary XO language. It’s possible to internally transfer later if you find an opening on a non-XO team, but don’t think you can do it at hire since each team has their own openings and recruiters.

  • Workday, but read Oracle OCI has become competitive and capturing good market and soon be good competitor in cloud market so maybe worth to check
