      Limited flexibility to work in places where Workday is not present, but still a lot of freedom that compensates

      Pros

      - good total compensation - generally friendly staff - relatively nice office

      Cons

      - Not very flexible on remote work, hard 50/50 hybrid system - A lot of legacy software - Highly understaffed, teams "own" and support products they never worked on - RSUs are getting cut at a time of high inflation - Base salary is on the low end of the spectrum, salary adjustments are behind inflation - The higher ups are really into their Kool-Aid

    As a first-generation Latina and first in her family to graduate from a four-year university, Workmate Elsa's goal was to pave the way for future generations in her family and inspire others to explore new horizons. But in the process, Elsa put mental health on the back burner and her overall health suffered. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Elsa is sharing her story in the hopes of normalizing discussions about mental health struggles and encouraging others to focus on mental health as part of their overall wellbeing. Thank you, Elsa, for sharing your story with us.
