Pros

+ an experience that lasts a lifetime

Cons

I cannot recommend this company under any circumstances. I have seen colleagues being dismissed in a sneaky way without HR. Some were lucky enough to find out about their termination from their colleagues instead of HR. Others were overheard using certain tools. Some were offered a severance package to avoid going to court. The company is very sneaky and unscrupulous. It is really very toxic and unfair as you can read in many US reviews. You are hired for one position but then asked to take on 5 more. This saves the company money. In addition, leads are distributed to the favourite employees while others have to work hard to reach their goal. There is a lot of lying, especially in the interview. I have seen many talented colleagues leave the company after a year. Some have even returned to their previous companies and that says it all. Everything is understandable when you do your research. Stay away for your own sanity!

We hear your concerns and thank you for raising them. You mentioned several points of feedback that are extremely valuable. Parting ways with our employees is always a delicate situation, and we understand that this warrants a process that is compliant, clear and thoughtful. The situations that you refer to are highly concerning, and we would appreciate learning more so that we are able to identify the root cause of these process gaps and effect positive change going forward. You also mentioned the lack of job scope clarity, and this is a critical priority for us as an HR organization. As a team, we have devoted significant energy in building out Workato’s Job Architecture and will continue to solidify job based competencies for each of our teams. We recognize that we are still in the earlier parts of the journey here, and appreciate you raising the need for us to continue to prioritize clarifying what each of our jobs entail in terms of scope and responsibilities. In addition, we are standing up resources like Interview Workshops and concrete plans around top talent retention that we look forward to sharing more on. Thank you for your feedback and as mentioned above, please feel free to reach out to your respective People Partner or hr-us@workato.com should you feel inclined to share more color on your experience. - VP, HR, Julie Tripsha

Pros

Flexibility and abundance of PTO, great benefits with healthcare

Cons

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
