Pros

Workday is generally a great place to work with a lot of friendly and competent coworkers

Cons

The progression through the career track is very slow and standardized, causing almost everyone to be promoted at similar times as compared to their start date, regardless of their skills, contributions, or ambitions. This causes a lot of frustration for the more motivated employees, a lot of slacking off for the less motivated, and a bit of attrition for those that get fed up with it.

Pros

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Cons

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
