Vantaggi

Nice benefits and perks on unlimited PTOs but you must be 101% the top employee in your team if you want to take a leave, flexible work hours for most roles Some roles are remote and will provide a one-time allowance to set up your home office or equipment

Svantaggi

- Rude managers, especially if your manager is from the US and you are an employee in APJ - Expect racism and discrimination. This is more obvious when the treatment for APJ teams are compared with how US and North American teams are managed and dealt with - The company has grown too fast that it has neglected employee welfare. It markets itself as family-friendly but it discourages using your leave credits for personal reasons. - Politics is present across all levels - Sending negative feedback and being honest when you’re asked for your input will get you twice the backlash and repercussions as management is too young and cannot take constructive feedback appropriately. - If you send negative feedback about your manager, HR will always side and protect management. You will not even be able to file for unemployment because they will deny the inhumane labor practices. Imagine being in an emergency and your boss will still require you to attend a not-so-important meeting - You will be retaliated if you raise any concerns to HR or to management about racial discrimination and managers who belittle you for being non-white. You can get terminated anytime, any day without being given the chance to explain as HR and the manager who received your negative feedback will always find ways to terminate you for invalid reasons - Career growth depends on how you’re willing to work extra hours, extra miles, everything extra for more than a year before you can get an invitation to try out for the promotion.

Flexibility and abundance of PTO, great benefits with healthcare

Svantaggi

Great product. Harder place to grow. I came in sharp, curious, and ready to build. I left with a clearer understanding of how culture dismantles talent and silences the pattern. The problem is what happens to people who show up with original thinking and the audacity to say so out loud. There's an unspoken system of mirror the room and you move forward. Challenge it and you become a friction point. It's not malicious but it is the water everyone's swimming in. Those who pattern-match to whoever has influence get rewarded. Those who bring a competing perspective, even if it could be a better one, tend to find themselves hushed and edged toward the exit. The mimic wins. The builder gets tired and broken. Ask most managers and directors where the organization is headed and why, and you'll get a polished reframe of the last all-hands. This layer as a whole lacks the strategic muscle you'd expect at this stage of the company. What you get instead is change for change's sake. Reorgs, pivots, renamed initiatives, new frameworks layered over old ones that never fully landed. The pace feels like momentum but it isn't. Every quarter brings a new energy, a new priority, a new Zoom call with a deck that makes it all sound like a breakthrough. Six weeks later no one can find the follow-through. Adoption doesn't happen because nothing stays still long enough to stick. If you're early career and want exposure to a fast-moving SaaS environment, there's something here. If you're a senior operator who wants strategic coherence to do the real work, go in with your eyes open. The chaos isn't a phase, its definitely manufactured as the culture.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We’re glad you recognized the flexibility, benefits, and strength of the product. Those are important parts of the experience we aim to deliver. We also want to address the themes you raised. We operate in a fast-moving environment, and that pace can create tension between driving change and maintaining consistency. That energy enables innovation and growth, but it can feel disruptive depending on what individuals are looking for in their role and stage of career. Creating space for different viewpoints, and ensuring those perspectives translate into impact, is something we continue to work on. We expect our leaders to challenge thinking, not simply reinforce it, and consistency here matters. On strategy and direction, we are intentional about evolving as the company scales. That can mean refining priorities and approaches, with the expectation that these changes lead to clearer focus and stronger outcomes over time. We appreciate you sharing your experience. It provides useful perspective as we continue to grow and strengthen how we operate. - Workato's Glassdoor Team
